1.0 out of 5 stars Not so "Ultimate" guide to live sound, February 20, 2008

By	J. Sansone (FL, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a professional sound engineer and have been for over 15 years. I am also an audio educator specifically in the fields of live sound and studio engineering. I bought this DVD with the hopes of showing to one of my live sound classes. I must say, this is the most disapointing video I have ever seen. It was vague, undetailed, incomplete and useless to all but the most naive band memeber. There are fudumantal concepts left out like mains power, crossover setup, load in/load out/ recording, ect... The "instuctor" keeps saying "just do it untill it sounds good" instead of explaining. This DVD rushes through concepts to keep the running time under 60mins. I would never use this in a class as educational material- ever. If you want a video that is more complete - check out Live Sound Reinforcement.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Start, March 9, 2007

I found this to be very enlightening. As a novice I had many questions.
This DVD answered many of them.
Although rathering boring with the presentation, I did learn a lot.

2.0 out of 5 stars Some useful material, but basically I'm sorry I bought this, February 1, 2007

By	C. Gill "Man En Route" (Northeast USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This DVD seems to be oriented to the hard-rock wannabe crowd that already hangs around bands and their gear, and just needs something to build their skills a little (and their confidence). Certain knowledge was assumed, and in my opinion the material covered wasn't that much. I guess for some folks it would be perfect, but if I'd been able to preview it (or read a review like this one), I'd never have bought it. The other DVD I got ("How To Mic a Band For Ultimate Live Sound") was *way* better, and the folks who got to see both DVDs all agreed.
