The Problem

A great live mix doesn't always make a great stream mix.

Mixing for a physical audience and mixing for an online audience are fundamentally different. A mix that sounds powerful inside a venue can sound completely different through the devices your online audience is actually using.

Headphones
Mobile phones
Laptops
Televisions
Home sound systems
Earbuds
Live Sound

Designed for the audience inside the venue.

Your mix is shaped by the room, the speakers and the energy of the crowd in front of you. What works in the space doesn't automatically translate to a pair of earbuds on the other side of an internet connection.

Stream Audio

Designed for people listening remotely.

Your mix has to hold up across headphones, phones, laptops and living-room systems. Stream Audio Academy teaches you how to adapt every decision so your audio translates professionally beyond the venue.

Affordable Professional Training

Professional training without the professional price tag.

The programme has been intentionally redesigned to make professional stream audio education more accessible. The previous physical programme required students to attend weekly classes over three months — a significant financial and time commitment. This new online format reduces the cost and removes geographical barriers while keeping live instructor interaction and practical training.

R2,500 is an investment in a practical, professional skillset — accessible, practical and industry-focused.
