Throughout today, Tuesday and Wednesday, audio/broadcast veteran Michael Abbott, perhaps best known as audio coordinator for the Grammy Awards, will present multi-track microphone mixing demonstrations entitled Mix a Basketball Game in 5.1.
The sessions will allow attendees to mix a basketball game under Abbott's direction. Participants will experience real-time, hands-on mixing in A-T's custom listening room, using state-of-the-art equipment (including a Calrec Sigma audio console), and audition and compare stereo, mono, shotgun and boundary mic options.
Also on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Dr. Fred Ginsburg, specialist in production sound recording for motion pictures and video, will present Audio Acquisition Tips & Tricks. A distinguished member of the Cinema Audio Society, Ginsburg will share his personal techniques for film/video audio acquisition. His background includes nearly two decades as a sound mixer on feature films, episodic TV and commercials, as well as for corporate and government applications.
