[QUOTE="Justice C. Bigler, post: 1160, member: 74"] now that I have my computer problems for the day dealt with... How do you guys go about training young engineers? And especially how do you go about getting them from a basic bar band PA or DJ set up level of knowledge and skill to something approximating a professional sound engineer? I have several younger, less experienced [U]stage hands[/U] (who want to be sound engineers) who have been working in our building for two or three years now, and it seems like no matter what I do, I can't get them to understand even basics like signal flow, patching a stage properly, how to hook up power amps and speakers/powered speakers, let alone anything like RF mics, and programming a PM5D. I've tried to explain all of these things over the last few years, but it never seems to sink in. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
