CHICAGO,
Illinois — HARMAN Soundcraft’s “Mixing with Professionals” (MwP) series will
breeze into the Windy City on October 16. MwP offers tips and tricks about
using Soundcraft Vi Series consoles from some of live sound’s most experienced
engineers. The Chicago sessions will be hosted by Ken Newman, front of house
engineer for Barry Manilow and owner of Newman Audio.
Ken
Newman is currently on tour with Barry Manilow and has also mixed live sound
for Chris Isaak, Anita Baker, Stevie Nicks, Liza Minnelli, Paul Anka and other
top performers. He began mixing sound in 1972 as a teenager and has never
looked back.
Newman will give MwP
attendees formal training with plenty of hands-on time with Vi Series consoles
in a classroom atmosphere. If participants bring a USB stick, they can save
their settings and take them on the road for their next gig, or continue
working on their settings using the Soundcraft Virtual Vi offline editor, which
is available free on the Soundcraft website.
“I’ve had years of
experience working with Soundcraft consoles,” said Newman, “and I look forward
to showing attendees how to configure and mix a show using the Vi Series.
During a Manilow show, it’s a very active mix and the features and ergonomics
of the Vi Series offer ready access to everything—there’s nothing to slow me
down or get in my way.”
The MwP sessions will
be held on October 16 at Sound Marketing, 10073 S 76th Avenue,
Bridgeview, Illinois, 60455.
Two time slots will
be available from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm and from 2:00 to 6:00 pm. The course is
free to attend but registration is required and space is limited. Details are
available at usa.soundcraft.com and
participants can register via e-mail at Soundcraft-usa@harman.com.
