Hear feedback before it takes over the room
Start with the Feedback Test, then rehearse the decisions a room demands: gain, monitors, EQ triage, changeovers, crew communication, and full-band show scenarios.

Questions
Before you start
Can Live Sound help if I only run sound sometimes?
Yes. It is especially useful if you run sound at a community hall, rehearsals, school events, open mics, or small venues and need a repeatable practice system.
Does it replace real PA experience?
No. It prepares your ears and decision order so real PA time is more productive and less chaotic.
