Episode 30 rounds out my Foundations of Audio Series. In it I collect the knowledge we have been building on training our ears and room acoustics to talk about how we can apply that knowledge to set up a sound system to perform optimally.

In this 29th episode of RAVE, we go deeper into the Foundations of Audio series to gain a better understanding of room acoustics and how this impacts sound system performance and recording results.

In this episode, I share my personal struggle with depression and the impact it has had on my life. I delve a bit into the encouragement and support I received from and reflect on overcoming challenges and bouncing back.

1. Analog mixer monitor mixing
2. Digital mixer monitor mixing,
3. Mixing to floor wedges
4. Mixing to IEM's
5. Monitor signal routing and gain structuring

I wrap it all up talking a bit about building RAVE a community where we can all share our experiences both personal and professional so we can all grow and learn from them.

• Understanding and setting up monitors is crucial for live performances and requires attention to detail.
