Our latest blog from the Real Audio Workshop sound team at Tahoe Production House is about upcoming live audio recording opportunities and audio workshops and classes.
Summer is right around the corner and the good weather is here. What does this mean in the in Lake Tahoe? It means that around Lake Tahoe and the surrounding area, there will be tons of outdoor music events, big and small. (E.g., Harvey’s Outdoor Summer Concert Series, Montbleu Outdoor Event Center, Live at Lakeview, etc) This would be the perfect time to “capture” that live event. Whether its your band, a single player, a DJ or the entire event…
Real Audio Workshop is proud to announce the investment of a 24 channel mobile recording system. We have great pre-amps, mics, stands, cables, not to mention the professional and experienced engineering staff to “capture” your event. The recording can then be brought back to the Tahoe Production House studio and be cleaned up if needed, have over dubs placed on the recording, add a few effects if desired, or simply mixed down as it is. Then it can be mastered, copies can be made, CD covers…..the list goes on for services offered from audio production to video production to website design and graphic design…
These will be of varying sizes from 1 day easy-to-understand audio classes aimed at the beginner and/or intermediate sound guy in the band, church, or DJ that needs to gain more audio skills and tools. We will be offering 1 day, 3 day and 6 day classes as well. Again the idea is to teach you to success, by providing solid techniques backed by our many years experience in the audio and sound industry. You will be taught from two of the best and most experienced current audio engineers in the biz today. At some of the classes we will also have guest speakers.
