Member Benefits

As a member of SoundGirls you get:


ESSENTIAL LIVE SOUND TRAINING: HOW LIVE SOUND WORKS FOR SHOWS.

SoundGirls Members get one month free. Register Here. Here’s what the Essential Live Sound Training consists of:

  • 1. Over 100 videos, each one an easy to watch, bite sized piece of information. Every part of the audio systems we use for live sound is broken down into its own video, which makes it really fast to find exactly the info you’re looking for.
  • 2. Explanation of fundamental audio concepts that EVERY audio engineer should know. This is the technical stuff that you need to get a complete understanding of how live sound works for a show.
  • 3. One of a kind diagrams. A lot of audio concepts are pretty abstract! So, I worked with a world-class graphic designer to create some amazing visual learning tools that will help you see some of the topics we’re discussing.
  • 4. Quizzes. Every video has a quiz so you can review what you’ve learned by checking your knowledge. This is a great way to make sure you’ve got it!
  • 5. Q&A Webinars. I will be holding LIVE Q&A sessions where you can ask me any questions related to live sound or touring production. This can be about anything you want to know – what gear I use on tour, how to mix with prerecorded tracks, what a tour manager does, any kind of audio technical issues, ways we apply this knowledge on stage, or anything else.

Rational Acoustics – Smaart 15% Discount at their online store

System Measurement Acoustic Analysis Real-time Tool (SMAART):

System Measurement – This is a dual-channel analyzer.  We can look at individual channels and take those signals apart to examine their level, frequency content, duration, etc . . . And we can compare two signals, the “what went in” of a system to the “what came out,” to determine what happened in between. In other words, what our systems (electronics, speakers, acoustical environments) are doing to the signals passing through them (frequency response, impulse response.)

email soundgirls@soundgirls.org for the discount code – good for one use per person.

SoundGirls Note:

About Those 79 Cents

The most frequently cited pay-gap statistic obscures the even wider gaps faced by people of color. Often, this argument is accompanied by the now-famous statistic that women earn about 79 cents for every dollar men make at work. This is an important data point, but focusing on that figure alone masks the role race can play in perpetuating these disparities.

For instance, it is important to ask: Which women? The 79-cents statistic is an average that includes all women, but it obscures the even wider gaps faced by women of color. For black women, the number is closer to 65 cents, while for Latinas it is even lower, at 54 cents. This data draws attention to the fact that while women as a group aren’t paid as much as men, women of color see even more pronounced earnings gaps. Read more
