“Sound Pro Latin America is a new serious proposal, created by professionals, that has a main goal to educate on new technologies for professional audio, promoting y teaching technical knowledge (theory and practice) for professional growing” Technoprofile magazine reports
Now, even taking into consideration the language barrier - being the sensitive, fair and well meaning individual I am - this sounds like a load of rubbish.
I am of the view that it’s more fun to learn things yourself, as well as almost always being more productive. I have friends who can recite text book perfect theory of sound design, acoustic treatment techniques, reverb wave forms and anything else on the university course they wasted their time on.
They couldn’t work a PA though. In fact, one of them got a job at a venue and didn’t realise the subs were still switched off.
Anyway - my jaded and cynical attitude aside, here’s some more about this Latin American course, which some readers may find of use. And looking into it more - it’s feasible that it might possibly JUST be ok
