I’ve read that Justin Eggleton will be the new training manager for U.S. Allen & Heath & iLive products… Will we be seeing training classes around the country? I’m sure many users and prospective buyers could benefit greatly from interactive classes, myself at the top of the list!
There are already some certification classes happening around the US, but they are offered through dealers in your area with the help of rep firms and A&H.
Its good that they will have someone dedicated to this now. It will help standarise the material.
Great news. How about filming some of the training sessions & posting it on the A&H YouTube channel? Not likely any training going to happen anywhere near me, and it would be great to hear/watch someone who knows the console inside out.
tried both of those Chris and still prefer the iLive, been doing the orchestra stems on a Symphonic Queen show over summer PM5 FOH and an M7 on monitors chucked the toys out my pram to use 112 and an iDR10.
Still interested in iLive classes… (or training videos) - would like to hear some definitive info from the mothership about whether or not this is in the plans, esp. for the USA, (east coast would be dandy).
The success that Yamaha has had with their classes should be a good indicator of the value of these…
Yes, I know the link - it basically leads to no information. I did find that by going to the link and using the search function on “training”, the iLive schedule is listed, but there are no classes listed after Oct 17-18. I will try to get in touch with Justin E., I’m just hoping A & H will be more proactive with training, either in the field or online.
I’m sure areas of interest for videos would run the gamut, I personally would like more advanced videos on areas such as show/scene management as “set up” and as “live” usage, live recording techniques, efficient monitor bus usage.
It would be nice to have a complete “self training” program to allow a user to start with absolute basics and continue through to advanced subject matter, though this is not your responsibility! Even advanced users can benefit from a refresher that can often fill in holes in knowledge.
