I actually do teach the "tech class" as part of drama....I started thi syear with sound, with what sound is. Then, I moved right in on the board, and tried to teach them wht all the knobs and things do, wihle teaching them signal flow. I don't understand what you all mean by
gain structure, but I tried to show them how you could route the sound and what would adjust it where...that took over a week, because it wa salot to learn! Then I went through some other materials, and that's where I am now, making sure they understand it all, including troubleshooting: one day I just hooked it all up and let them go at it, tring to find my mistakes. Man, I was so mean
one time, I turned the mic off (mic with a
switch) one dude spent about 20 minutes trying to find the problem....
and I have found a lady at a church I do lights at who went to Full Sail, she is going to come in and try to teach us a little more about sound, not sure what though.
I need to talk with her and see what I've covered well and what she can teach us that's new.
