— About this course
Run shows, don’t improvise them.
There’s a big gap between triggering clips and running a tight show under pressure. This course closes it — the systems, habits and safety nets to walk into any venue and stay calm.
Over four focused weeks you’ll build a real show file, map a controller you can play by feel, and drill the recovery moves that turn a disaster into a non-event.
— Curriculum
4 modules. 4 weeks.
Show File Architecture
Composition structure, naming conventions and rider-ready file formats.
MIDI Mapping & Cueing
Controller setup, cue lists, clip triggers and fader logic.
Audio-Reactive Systems
BPM sync, audio analysis and building reactive visual layers.
Backup & Recovery
Redundancy setups, crash-recovery drills and on-night problem solving.
— What you’ll need
Kit & software.
A laptop and a MIDI controller you can map and rehearse on.
Resolume Avenue or Arena.
Ideally a second screen to run a real output while you work.
