Overview
Step into the dynamic world of live event audio with Integrated Audio Production Capstone. Building on our Digital Audio Certificate of Achievement, this hands-on, in-person course immerses you in the complete workflow of delivering professional-quality sound for live performances.
You'll work through the full production cycle — pre-production planning, live sound and recording system setup, show execution, and post-production mixing/editing. Throughout the process, you'll integrate live sound and recording systems in a professional environment.
Guided by industry-experienced instructors, you’ll collaborate with peers to plan and deliver a live music event, troubleshoot challenges on the fly, and produce a final mixed recording. The process builds the technical proficiency, real-world problem-solving ability, and confidence you need to step into professional roles in live event production or studio work.
By the end of this SAIT Micro-credential course, you’ll have managed audio for a complete live performance, applied both live reinforcement and multi-track recording techniques, and delivered a polished, portfolio-ready final mix.
This course is ideal if you:
- want to top up your digital audio knowledge and skills
- want more hands-on experience before entering the industry
- are passionate about live music, event production, and professional audio engineering
