SAIT’s Intro to Live Sound Engineering micro-credential prepares students for the technical and communication demands of working in live audio production. Through a combination of classroom learning and hands-on lab experience, students develop foundational knowledge of signal and system theory while gaining practical experience with professional live sound equipment.

The course covers microphone selection, audio filters and equalization, mixing consoles, loudspeaker systems, amplifiers, signal processors, and sound system operation. Through coursework, assessments, and a group project, students build the practical skills needed to contribute effectively to technical sound crews and live production teams.

What You’ll Learn

  • Discuss the environment and different roles in the development of a live sound engineer.
  • Explain how to select the proper microphone for a specific application.
  • Describe various types of audio filters and equalization.

    Thankfully I’m not just out of high school dealing with this money grab. The power engineering courses unfortunately are mandated by legislation as a requirement for work in the field and SAIT is THE worst at educating. It is a glorified text book with computer quizzes. And for that they charge through the nose. I might as well have gone back to university and taken a degree in Engineering for the price I paid for this time limited course. No text books made available, no answers from a so called instructor, money paid for exams, extortion money for extensions of online courses. Just pure money making by a failing institution. I had better hopes for SAIT. Going to do all my online elsewhere.
    Do not go here.

    If you want to pay out of your nose to try and learn from instructors who can barely speak english let alone interface with you in figuring things out, this is the school for you. What a worthless program and diploma-mill of an institution. Spend your time and money pursuing things closer to you than the pigeonholes places like this would have you shoved inside.
