I've learned A LOT!!! I came into this a total neophyte, this course is great! Wiring, placement of equipment, ways to reduce sound bouncing, why soundproofing is NOT an option, equipment types, recommended models and features to start with, software, type of microphones, and lots more. Very good course.
