The teaching is excellent it has greatly broadened my horizons, but I feel like the author should have explained the terms or broken them down for people who are new to light mixing and don’t know much about it.

Good approach to start learning about the busking technique. Dot2 is a relative easy to learn platform with a steep learning curve, but limited capabilities. Course is very useful and applicable to small fests/concerts on small venues, but knowledge acquired from it can easily be adapted to larger rigs.
