Hey everybody! I want to get a conversation going here. It’s been a little quiet, and we have people all across the globe here who are interested in Audio Engineering!! Let’s learn from each other and get to know one another! My question is this: Do you make money with music? If so, what’s the biggest part of your income?; Weddings? Sports? Conferences? Festivals? Bar gigs? Studio work? Mixing or mastering? Myself, I make most of my living by doing live sound at weddings, corporate events, and playing in bands on festivals, weddings, and in bars. I have other smaller income streams through lessons, mixing/mastering, and consultation. What do you do??? What’s been the most profitable area of your business? And if you’re not making money yet, what’s in the way? What would need to happen for you to make this a full time job? Can’t wait to hear from you all. I hope you’re having a great day! ~Jon

I finished the course and honestly, it was really helpful!! If you’re just starting, it gives you a clear foundation and helps things make sense much faster. But even if you already have some experience, I feel like it helps you connect what you already know with the right terminology and concepts. That’s been a big one for me, going back to the basics. If you have that solid foundation, it’s much easier to move forward, which is where I’m at right now. I’ve been around audio for a while, but I didn’t always have the vocabulary to explain what I was hearing or doing, and this helped fill that gap. Honestly, I thought I knew some things… turns out I didn’t fully 😅 (I even missed a couple of quiz questions haha) For me at least, it’s not just about learning new things, but about understanding better what you already kind of know. If you’re on the fence, whether you’re a beginner or already have some hands-on experience, I’d say it’s worth checking out (: Thanks, Jon!! -Ponce

Hey Sound Guys and Gals, I’m curious to know if you have any experience using a mixer. And if so, do you use an Analog or Digital mixer? Let me know what you guys are working with!
