Lesson 4 Posted on 2015-01-15 by Holly Markson

Connectivity!!  So incredible to learn about wires and cables that were already all around my existence!  Sebastian went over the entire signal flow with me and this leasson came right after I had helped him set up for a live session with a rock band so this was all making sense now.  We used a lot of XLR cables to hook up mic's and pre amps.  He explained to me about balanced and unbalanced connections and when something is not grounded or "hot" a blowout can happen.  It's been really unique and interesting experince to be given such thorough and detailed explanations of literally everything that goes into sound production; I'm loving it!
