Well folks, we have a rare opportunity here.  Due to a confluence of events and logistical advantages, we are now offering a week-long LIVE training event in Los Angeles, CA, this coming March 26-31.

If you answered yes to the questions above, then you are ready to become a TV sound guy.

You will get complete and utter hands-on experience and training from veteran TV sound mixers ready to show you all the tips and tricks of how to launch a successful career in Television sound.  Here’s a run down of the schedule:

  • Monday March 26: We’ll cover both Module 1 – Audio Basics, and Module 2 – Signal Flow Applied
