L-ISA training
L-ISA technology redefines professional skills and interactions in live sound reinforcement projects.
In the L-ISA training:
- All participants will learn to manage an L-ISA project
- System engineers will learn to design, implement, calibrate, and operate an L-ISA loudspeaker system
- Mixing engineers will learn to prepare, encode, and mix an L-ISA show
Training program
The L-ISA training is a 3-day seminar that offers 2 different tracks: system and mixing.
Training prerequisites:
- L-ISA system engineer track: Level 1, System technician or System integrator status
- L-ISA mixing engineer track: None, but System Fundamentals recommended
- Technology introduction
- System components
- Object-based mixing
- Loudspeaker system layout and certification
- Spatialization algorithms for object panning and room engine
- Mixing approaches (object-based vs. channel-based)
- L-ISA controller software functionalities (objects, room engine, snapshots)
- Spatial balance creation, illustrated in two tutorial sessions (classical and pop examples)
- Mixing recommendations
- Snapshots for motion in L-ISA controller
- Spatial balance modification, illustrated in two mixing tutorial sessions (classical and pop examples)
- Third-party controls in L-ISA controller (Desk Link, DAWs Source Control plugin, OSC interface, tracking)
- Efficient and organized use of dynamic mixing controls
- Soundvision functionalities for L-ISA system design
- Metrics optimization for L-ISA system certification
- Sonic objectives and system layout requirements
- Individual source design
- Level and time alignment of fill systems
Note: It is recommended to have attended the System Fundamentals and VCLS trainings, updated in 2019 with Autosolvers.
- L-ISA processor implementation in the audio chain (formats, connectivity, clocking)
- L-ISA controller configuration (network, MIDI, time code)
- Rigging recommendations for fast system deployment
- System calibration (signal flow, microphone placement, contour adjustments, subwoofer alignment), illustrated with real examples
Note: It is recommended to have attended the Loudspeaker System Calibration training.
- Implementation and network communication
- L-ISA mixing practice in an L-ISA certified auditorium
- Tutoring from an L-ISA trainer
- Best practices and discussions between participants
- Developing an opportunity into an actual L-ISA project
- Planning an L-ISA tour or residency
- Producing audio content for an L-ISA show (live inputs, audio effects, sequences, multichannel instruments)
- Anticipating L-ISA scaling from studio to large-scale venue
- Adapting an L-ISA mix to different venues or system layouts
- Hosting a guest engineer on an L-ISA system and supporting the transition from a Left and Right mix to an object-based mix
