Start your Career in Live Sound

Live Sound is fueled by the immediacy and adrenalin of a live audience listening to your “product” as you create it.

The CRAS live sound curriculum covers all the bases from theory to setup, analog and digital mixing, signal processing, “rules of the road” and more, all in our 6,000 sq ft live sound venue.

Break Into Film & TV Audio

All of those TV car crashes, door slams, foot stomps and dogs barking... every tick of a clock and bomb blast is recorded, laid in, synchronized and mixed by a team of audio engineers.

CRAS students learn how to do it all, from synchronization, surround sound, to dubbing, to foley and on-site audio. Many of our students who originally thought of a career in music are attracted to the many opportunities in sound for film.
