How do You Work This?

It is time to take control of your live sound situation. Make your PA system Sound Good Like It Should! (Not to mention your guitar, pedals, amplifier, and anything else you're wrestling with). You deserve to sound your best, (you need to sound your best)—whether you're rehearsing or playing a gig. 

And it's you who needs to be in charge. In this hands-on how-to with Colin Cheyne you will learn how to make the gear work FOR you.

In this workshop, we will make sense of the knobs, the faders, speakers, mixers, microphones, monitors, power, cables (and how to wrap those cables). From load-in to load-out. How to avoid feedback, how to combat feedback. 

Bring questions.  None of this stuff needs to be a mystery. 

Roll up your sleeves for this one.
