Christian, you are the type of person that would get a lot out of this kind of thing. Although it is geared toward "live" audio, it is an explanation of how things work in a way that covers most of what is used in both live and recording settings.Christian LeBlanc wrote:Malcolm Boyce wrote:gear interested musicians
I may need to sign up for this thing. Is there a lot of hands on? I don't even mean my hands, I just mean, will there be lots of audio examples to illustrate things like, say, phasing? Or, a direct instrument compared to a mic'd instrument? Or how different mics sound with the same instrument? Will we hear examples of 'wrong' as well as 'right'? I'm ok with theory, but hearing examples can really lock down some otherwise shaky concepts for me.
Don't know who the "band" will be yet so instrumentation is up in the air right now.Christian LeBlanc wrote:For the live band that plays on the Sunday - will they have keyboards? There's a thread in these forums about how hard they can be to mix live sometimes, and I think it might be fun to illustrate "how-to."
Something like which you speak is such a specialized kind of thing, I can't spend too much time on stuff like that. You kind of answered your own question, and correctly I might add.Christian LeBlanc wrote:As fun as smuggling in a hardware vocoder to patch into the mixing board would be, I'm guessing that bringing gear from home is frowned upon, right? Because if one person wanted to do it, everyone would etc etc...plus, figuring out some gear might take away from what you're trying to do, you don't know if it's reliable, etc etc.
Yes. Playing around with effects can and will happen. Know that in a live setting, things like "thickening" via use of delay is pretty advanced mixing technique and is above the level of most participants of this event. Subtle technique is non existent in the overwhelming majority of live situations that people taking this course will work in.Christian LeBlanc wrote:But that raises another question: will we have access to effects for the band on Sunday? I'd love to play around with things like thickening the guitar via a short delay, that kind of thing.
Not in depth.Christian LeBlanc wrote:Would impedance be covered, as well?
Although this course will benefit gear curious musicians, it's focus is on the sound systems and setups used and not the instruments and gear associated directly with said instruments. That being said, it is an open discussion, and lots of things come up during the course of events. It just isn't the focus.Christian LeBlanc wrote:And I'd love it if I could come out of this knowing what my amp and cab sims at home should sound like :) Would there be some illustration of how guitar -> distortion pedals -> direct to computer or soundboard, sounds compared to guitar -> distortion pedals -> guitar amp and cabinet -> microphone -> computer or soundboard?
Malcolm Boyce wrote:If I thought there would be a demand for a more advanced course where we could spend that much time on stuff like you ask, I would be all over putting together another program. The one coming up is something that has outdone my expectations for people being interested in, and the degree to which people have enjoyed participating in. Who knows.
Malcolm Boyce wrote:So something is happening tomorrow night (Wed). It'll be a 4 hour-ish kind of thing, and pretty informal. I will probably leave it mostly up to the group what we tackle for topics. Contact Imperial Theatre for info about getting in. I know nothing 'bout that... but they do.

The original course makeup touches a little bit on many, many topics. This is to appeal to a broad spectrum of people, and their varied experience level. In order to "condense" it, I would need to select what topics were of benefit to the audience attending, and the only way I can do that is to know who that will be. If you can tell me who will be there, and what their level of experience is, I can condense it and tell you what it will include. This is not the case tonight unfortunately.Mathieu Benoit wrote:Malcolm Boyce wrote:This x100.Mathieu Benoit wrote:... but still it's a shame the course couldn't proceed as originally planned.
By the way is there any chance you could put together a condensed curriculum? Might be to your advantage to have that as an available plan B in case this happens again.
