Crafting a great mix on a poorly deployed PA is frustrating.
If you don't have the tools and workflow to optimize the sound system...
- Your mix sounds decent at FOH but doesn't translate to the rest of the audience
- You're unaware of problem areas until you start getting complaints
- You blindly guess instead of following a trusted process
And that leads to derailed gigs and feeling deflated in your mixing abilities. I don't want that for you! I've helped hundreds of audio engineers have amazing-sounding shows.
Here's a bulletproof plan that will work for you, too!

How do I know if I'm ready for this workshop?
To be absolutely clear, this workshop does not teach you how to design systems nor does it teach you how to run your audio analyzer software (Smaart, Open Sound Meter, etc.) or read the data.
This workshop gives you a trusted framework in which to use your design and tuning tools, and interpret the data so you can optimize any system you come across.
I work from a design in a real venue, creating a plan, and tuning the system in real time, assuming you already have a basic understanding of how sound systems work and how to run an audio analyzer.
I've created a YouTube playlist for you that will help you get up to speed if you feel like you need to tackle some "prerequisite material" so you can be prepared to learn well. I use Smaart LE as my software. If you're wanting to be comfortable with Smaart and system measurement before the training, please check out Rational Acoustic's free Smaart Operator Fundamentals Online course on YouTube.
Here's what you should have under your belt before purchasing this workshop:
- Understand basic system design coverage principles
- How to set up your measurement rig (microphone, interface, software) and take a measurement
- How to read magnitude, coherence, and phase data
What will you leave the workshop saying?
"I finally have a plan I can trust."
"System tuning isn't so scary."
"I can't wait to use this on my next gig."
"This makes so much sense now."
"I can make decisions with speed and clarity."
"I can tune my system with confidence."
