Some of you already know about You Ought to Know Audio, my next book which
I've finally started writing. Just wanted you to know I'll be launching
the course that will eventually be based on the book and for now, will
present all of what I have planned for the book, but (obviously) in person
and live, which when audio is involved, is the preferred format. This is
FAR from just a tech course, but a very personal and inside look at what I
believe is both an art AND craft, far more than the science and technology
normally associated with audio, especially professional audio. Yes, there's
a little bit of physics, math, and some engineering involved, but I make the
exploration of even those simple, understandable, relevant, and FUN!!!
I've been obsessed with and working in audio in a multitude of ways for 30
years now, have done more amazing and exciting projects than I can remember,
have trained and mentored many, but this is the first time I've brought of
my greatest loves together. Italian and Japanese cuisine. No...audio and
classroom training.
Audio was an early passion that coincided with my early days of playing
music professionally while I was still in high school. My love affair began
with all of the research I did on my first "audiophile" sound system that I
convinced my father to buy me in 1976 for my 16th birthday, "instead" of the
car, which I ended up getting anyway ('72 Vega, used) 6 months later. Both
high end consumer audio and pro audio has been an ongoing beloved aspect of
my life ever since then.
I started doing recording and live sound gigs while in high school, went on
to manage theater audio and sound design, and even went to Scotland in 1980
as the Sound Designer for an experimental production of "Macbeth" created by
Catonsville Community College (now CCBC), where I was attending and working
at the time. In the early 80's, I had numerous audio jobs, both retail and
production, culminating in working as Chief Sound Engineer at Center Stage
in Baltimore before returning to Catonsville CC to finish my degree in Data
Processing which began my "technology and training" phase. Audio has
remained as one of the many facets of my diversified "profession"
Even if you don't know why you'd benefit from this course, and there are so
many ways you would, I encourage you to spend the evenings of next week with
me at CA and I think you'll be amazed at how beneficial fundamental audio
knowledge is to EVERYONE and how the knowledge and skill, the way I teach
it, is so applicable in so many OTHER areas.
If I still haven't convinced you, every person attending the class will be
sent an autographed copy of the book once it's finished and published, which
will probably be by sometime this fall.
Let me know if you have questions and I hope to see you next week.
