Prism Sound Hits Road With A Six Venue Seminar Tour

Prism Sound is taking to the road in November with a series of seminars that aim to dispel many of the popular myths surrounding the recording process.
In conjunction with Apple and monitor specialist PMC, the Prism Sound 'From Mic To Monitor' road show will visit universities and colleges in six key cities over a two-week period taking in the weeks beginning November 17 and 24.
Each seminar will feature short presentations from the three companies involved and a talk by a guest recording professional who will also be available to answer questions from the audience on recording techniques.
Prism Sound's sales and marketing manager Jody Thorne said: "We are focusing our attention on the educational sector because we recognise that this is where the producers and engineers of the future are currently getting their grounding in the recording process.
"The aim is to give students and invited guests from the audio industry a chance to discuss recording techniques and allow them to demo the cutting-edge equipment and software that is currently in daily use in the commercial world."
Prism Sound's seminar speakers will be Simon Woollard from the company and John Goldstraw, formerly chief technical engineer at Metropolis Studios and now a respected audio consultant.
Goldstraw said: "We will be looking at product specifications and we'll deal with some popularly-held ideas that are not necessarily truths. With so much of today's equipment being software driven, it is increasingly difficult to predict the interaction between software and hardware. This is a key issue that impacts on everyone who is in the business of recording music, particularly those who are working in projects studios and don't have specialist technical engineers on hand if something goes wrong."
'From Mic To Monitor' kicks off in Cambridge at the Anglian Ruskin University. It then moves to the University of Westminster, with an evening event in central London (TBC). From there, it goes to the University of the West of England in Bristol.
During its second week, the road show will visit LIPA in Liverpool, Salford University and the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester and Confetti Studios in Nottingham.
