This week, we're happy to announce our new FREE course on how to choose streaming gear and properly set it up in order to produce a successful live stream! The course is available at https://school.learnlightandsound.com.
Live streaming is one of the best ways for podcasters, content creators, and hobbyists to connect with their audiences and build close online communities. With the right gear and setup know-how, anyone can produce very high quality streams easily and without having to spend massive amounts of money on really expensive gear.
In this free course we show you the basics of setting up to stream, as well as sharing our thoughts on some of the most efficient and worthwhile streaming gear on the market today.
In the course, we’ll teach you how to:
- Determine what types of streaming gear are right for you.
- Use your chosen gear to refine your streaming techniques and produce better-quality streams.
- Correctly route your gear into your streaming computer.
- Test your setup before going live.
What is NOT covered:
- Streaming setups for video game streaming.
- Advanced details of setting up your streaming platform (YouTube, Twitch, etc).
One of the tricky parts of online learning is figuring out what to do when you have a question. But we’ve got you covered there! You can email me any time when you sign up for the course. We also hold weekly Sound for Video Sessions where we cover sound for video topics in more depth and even have Q&A sessions once or twice a month.

Announcing a new, free course covering the fundamentals of choosing gear for a successful live stream, linked below. Streaming can feel like a black box given all the specialized gear and signal-chain jargon people throw around, but there are now plenty of simple, affordable solutions that let almost anyone produce high-quality streams without a huge investment of time or money. Note: this course doesn't cover video game streaming — for that, check out Senpai Gaming or EposVox on YouTube, who specialize in that area.
For anyone starting an education, podcast, or talk-show style stream, the course covers: determining which streaming gear actually fits your particular format; keeping your overall setup simple so you can produce a good show and troubleshoot problems faster when they inevitably come up during live productions; connecting all your gear into your streaming computer; and fixing common issues like audio sync drift and hum. If this sounds useful, check it out at school.learnlightandsound.com, where there are also courses covering production sound, dialogue editing, and post-production. Hope to see you there.
