Great Live Sound

Give me a shout!

Howdy!
My name is James Wasem. I've got a passion for great sound and for helping others learn how to get it!

But guess what. I used to struggle to deliver consistent quality live sound. And the fundamental concepts of getting great sound were sometimes confusing and over my head –
even as a young professional.


Then I discovered a few simple skills and often overlooked steps to getting great sound. Now I am able to get better mixes, save listeners from common sound system distractions, and more importantly...

I’m confident mixing behind the console.

I eventually learned all this stuff from acoustics and engineering books, trade magazines, product manuals, technical training sessions, and "doing sound" every day as a professional.

Having installed hundreds of sound systems and trained a lot of people how to use them, I knew there there was simply NO WAY my new customers were going to go through all the hassle I did to figure out how to mix like a pro.

I tried giving them the Yamaha Sound Reinforcement Handbook. Yeah. That went over real well!
(Great book - it's just too technical for a lot of brand new sound techs or weekend warriors.)

So,16 years later...

I finally wrote the book that I wish I had when starting out – something that is all about helping the volunteer sound guy (or gal) feel confident and competent as they operate their sound system.


Great Live Sound is not a tome covering the exhaustive history of audio systems, nor is it an advanced encyclopedia on the physics of sound.

It is a guide for the beginner, the weekend warrior, the musician, the person who just wants the mix to finally sound good.

A handbook that teaches the concepts of audio in a way that is fun and easy to understand.
A tool that allows a complete novice to start crafting great sounding mixes with confidence.

Well, at least that's what I hope it does! You'll have to check it out for yourself and let me know what you think.
