cjmnash · Post by **cjmnash** » Sat Aug 22, 2009 7:19 pm

Introducing a Recording Producer/Engineer Summit that actually takes place in a recording studio. ?Welcome To 1979 ? a retro, all analog recording studio in Nashville, TN ( www.welcometo1979.com ) will be hosting this summit November 14th and 15th, with a kick-off recording session/party on Friday November 13th featuring The New Belgravians laying it down live to two track.

This summit is geared for all you up and coming producer/engineers out there, but will be limited to 100 attendees. It will focus on ?all the things you can?t find in a book?, will cost $125 per person ($128 via paypal), and features some of the best panelists this industry has to offer.

There is a lot of bang-for-the-buck with 12 ninety-minute panels per day. Each day 4 of these panels will be focusing solely on the art of Producing & Engineering (which will take place in the control room) along with 8 panels per day on such related topics as:

Mastering (preparing a project for mastering)
Studio Ownership
What am I worth? (a discussion on rates)
Internships (put on by former interns)

D.I.Y. Gear
Tape Machines 101
Studio Maintenance
General Q&A
Recording Artists (what they expect from a producer/engineer)
Mixing
Compression

thanks tony! i hoped for success, but never thought it would've turned out as well as it did. it was a relaxing, yet event filled weekend and tons of "magical moments" for me- panelists and attendees chit-chatting, panelists asking panelists questions during panels- total gold!

thanks to everyone involved!
