It will take time to learn all of the things you can do, but it's important to start building a foundation. Because sound engineers work with so many types of electrical equipment, you will need to learn some basic electrical safety. Learn about basic electricity, such as the difference between voltage and current. You will need to know how many pieces of equipment can be plugged into a specific power strip so you don't blow a fuse or ruin the equipment.
