KNOXVILLE, TN, October 23, 2026 — Waves Audio, a global leader in pro audio, will host its FREE “Better U” live sound training event in Nashville in just one week, on Friday, October 30, ahead of the AES convention. Space is now extremely limited, and engineers, integrators, house-of-worship leaders and audio professionals who plan to attend are encouraged to register now to secure their spot.
Taking place at Worley Studio in Nashville the day before AES exhibits open, Better U is a one-day comprehensive training event focused on the Waves eMotion LV1 Classic platform. The deep-dive learning experience will be led by industry expert Jeremiah Clever, Waves product specialist, and will feature a special collaborative session with renowned front-of-house engineers Jeff Sandstrom (known for his work with Chris Tomlin, Passion City Church and Lauren Daigle) and Lloyd Williams (known for his work with Young the Giant, Against the Current, Pvris, The Pretty Reckless and Mark Ambor).
The program combines practical workflow training with a broader masterclass-style approach, emphasizing how engineers can use technology to create meaningful, memorable live audio experiences. Sessions throughout Better U will provide attendees with an in-depth exploration of modern live sound workflows, including console signal flow, advanced mixing strategies, immersive monitoring environments, plugin integration and practical approaches to achieving greater clarity, consistency and impact in live productions. Beyond the technical fundamentals, the sessions will also focus on creative decision-making and the role engineers play in shaping emotional audience experiences, helping participants better understand how technology, workflow and artistic intent come together in real-world concert, touring and house-of-worship environments.
“Better U is really about investing in the people who make live sound happen,” said Maximilian Williams, Waves Live Sound Marketing Manager. “It’s not about selling someone a product; it’s about creating an environment where engineers can learn, experiment, ask questions and exchange ideas with people who understand the realities of working behind the console. Whether someone is just getting started or has been mixing shows for years, we want them to leave with practical knowledge they can put to work immediately, greater confidence in their craft, and new ideas about how they can deliver an even better experience for both the artists onstage and the audiences they serve.”
In addition to training sessions, lunch will be provided, and attendees are encouraged to bring laptops for interactive participation using the LV1 offline editor.
Open to beginners through seasoned professionals, particularly those working in house-of-worship, touring and venue production, Better U is designed to provide both practical skills and a broader creative perspective.
Admission is FREE, but space is now extremely limited. With only one week to go, this is the last chance to register. Those planning to attend should sign up now to secure their spot.
