Prism and Sadie expand seminar target-audience

The seminars will fall into two categories - broadcast and music recording - with a date at each venue devoted to each topic.

The mastering seminars will focus on how Sadie digital audio workstations can be used in a mastering environment and also how Sadie location recorders fit into the recording chain.

Guest speakers, along with staff from Prism Sound and Sadie, will discuss the practical aspects of mastering, as well as exploring the reasons why Sadie has become the craft editor of choice for many professionals.

For music recording students and professionals, Prism Sound's 'Mic To Monitor' tour makes a welcome return.

This series aims to dispel many of the myths surrounding the recording process.

Each seminar will feature short presentations from Prism Sound staff and from guest speakers, including recording professionals that can answer audience questions on recording techniques.

Jody Thorne, Prism Sound's sales and marketing manager, said: 'Students need the opportunity to learn skills that are applicable to the industries in which they will ultimately work.

'They also need to know about the equipment they will regularly come into contact with.

'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.

'The aim is to give them - and any industry professional that wants to brush up on their skills - the chance to discuss new techniques, demo cutting-edge equipment and software and learn first-hand from the experiences of our guest speakers.' The tour kicks off in October in the UK and the US.

In Britain, it will visit venues in the following cities: Sunderland, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Leeds and Cardiff.

In the US the tour will visit the following cities: Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Texas, Boston, New York, Nashville and Miami.
