LIVE SOUND FOR THE PERFORMING MUSICIAN

By Paul white

No matter how talented a performer you are, if the sound out front isn't up to scratch, you won't win over your audience. Even relatively inexpensive equipment can produce exceptionally good results - if only you know how to use it.

LIVE SOUND FOR THE PERFORMING MUSICIAN is a practical guide to equipment and sound for small to medium sized gigs. It covers everything from choosing PA equipment and backline amplification to selecting the right type of microphone and finding your way around a typical live sound mixer.

Also discussed are stage monitoring, effects and processors, tuning, DI techniques, radio microphones, basic wiring information, amplifier and loudspeaker principles - and even performance tips.

If you're making live music, or you want to, this book is for you.
