Denver, CO (PRWEB) January 26, 2012
A new 3 disc training DVD box set, “Ultimate Live Sound School” is due for release soon at ProAudioDVDs.com., the leader in video training materials for musicians and studio owners.
It addresses the age old problem of audio feedback that happens in far too many Sunday Services.
The DVD set has well over 6 hours of hands on training for audio engineers who work in live sound venues. While the training covers all the details of how to design, install and run any live sound system, much of the training has been designed for Churches and Houses of Worship because so many of them struggle with poor sound.
Owner of ProAudioDVDs.com, David Wills explained, “My goal was to take everything I have learned working for the biggest touring acts in the world such as Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Phil Collins and Diana Ross…and blend it with my experience running sound and mixing literally thousands of sermons and worship services in the Church. My goal with this DVD set was to take all of that combined knowledge and cram it all into a DVD set that any Church can hand to a volunteer and have them up and running in a week.”
“Too many churches have all the right equipment, but the staff running them are poorly trained. And their are precious few resources out there that teach all the basic of how to run sound, eliminate feedback and blend a great mix that you can be proud of.”
The DVD box set is due to be released in early February 2012 and covers the following subjects.
