The Sound Engineer Training Suite for Mac users.



Benefits/features of this software:
Six chapters of video training explaining how to properly set up and sound check a live band using a medium-sized sound system (such as those commonly found in both churches and live performance venues). The Sound Check Trainer is great for all beginning band sound engineers, live music venue engineers, and church sound system operators.
The program uses a virtual band with drums, bass, keyboards, guitar, and vocals as a model to demonstrate the best way to keep a setup, sound check, and performance going smoothly. The user is taken through the steps needed in order to position microphones, place main and monitor speakers, connect the microphone snake and mixer to the power amplifiers and speakers, connect powered speakers, "gain stage" the system, equalize instruments, eliminate feedback, and finally to the basics of getting a good mix. Connection and use of graphic equalizers and effects processors are also addressed.
For less than the cost of one lesson from a pro audio teacher, The Sound Check Trainer can provide an easy way to achieve a solid foundation of understanding for the beginning sound engineer.
FAQ:
Is this program good for advanced professional audio engineers?
No. It is designed to provide easy-to-understand yet extremely valuable training for beginning sound engineers. By using this program, one can avoid the common pitfalls of sound system operation and get a great start on becoming a professional engineer.
How long does it take to download?
It is a fairly large program because it contains video. It should take between 10-20 minutes to download using a high-speed connection such as cable modem or DSL.
How long does it take to go through the training course?
You could go straight through the material in less than 40 minutes if you did not stop to absorb the information. However, it is best to "soak in" the info provided because each chapter addresses different issues commonly faced when setting up and operating a live sound reinforcement system.
What is the video quality?
The interactive version uses Flash video and it is compressed to a level much like VCR quality in order to make the program's file size work well for downloads. The Mac and PC video version uses Quicktime video of similar quality.
What are the operating system requirements?
We offer two versions of the program:
1. The interactive Windows version requires Windows XP or newer and Adobe Flash (likely installed from the factory).
2. The non-interactive video version for either Mac or PC uses Quicktime Player (built into most Macs and a free download for either Windows or Mac computers).
