Hosted by Grammy and Dove Award winning sound engineer Ron Davis, this 'Basics' DVD/CDROM resource package has been developed to empower ANY audio sound person, no matter what their skill or knowledge level. From seasoned sound reinforcement veteran to someone just interested in learning about running sound, this DVD is packed full of very useful and needed information.
Ron brings the 'real world' of audio to you through his practical sense of teaching gained by knowledge from years of live stage and studio recording.
The State-of-the-Art quality DVD brings the audio 'truths' home to the viewer through eye catching 3D renderings and humorous film anecdotes, as well as never before available printable charts, lists, files and diagrams.
This DVD has been authored with the 'beginner in audio' in mind. There are many strategically placed index points throughout this DVD, so that you can 'rewind' the DVD simply by hitting the 'skip' key on the DVD player or the DVD player's remote control.
