AES Announces Dates for the Nashville Recording Workshop + Expo 2010

Following on the success of the first annual Nashville Recording Workshop + Expo in 2009, The AES Nashville Section and Mike Curb College of Entertainment & Music Business, in conjunction with the Audio Engineering Society, Inc. in NY are pleased to announce the dates for this year's session to be held at The Curb Event Center at Belmont University, just steps away from the heart of Nashville's legendary Music Row. This two-day conference and trade show exposition will be held on March 5-6, 2010, and will once again feature top-industry guest speakers and panelists, as well as exhibits by many of today's leading audio gear manufacturers. Last year, over 300 attendees from 28 states and 5 different countries participated in this unique industry event which focuses on recording musicians and engineers working in a wide variety of personal production spaces and studio environments. Students from some 20 audio technology schools were also part of that number. "We are very pleased to announce this upcoming event, building on last year's success, and the ability to hold it at such an esteemed venue," stated Mike Porter, Chair, AES Nashville Section. "The Curb Event Center at Belmont University holds many of Nashville's high-profile events and conferences, and we are proud to partner with them as the annual NRW+E event grows to encompass all aspects of what the Audio Engineering Society, as well as the Nashville recording community, have come to represent." The Nashville Recording Workshop + Expo was designed to provide the growing number individuals owning personal recording spaces, including artists and songwriters, access to the experience and knowledge of the AES and its affiliates, and to provide real-world insights into technology and techniques that can help attendees achieve professional results, whether in a high-end recording studio or working with a less-than-professional budget. Last year's presenters included an immense presentation of Nashville talent, from keynote address speaker Ricky Skaggs, to the dozens of leading industry professionals representing all genres of music, including: Rich Adler, Jeff Balding, Lynn Fuston, George Massenburg, Vance Powell, Michael Wagener, and many more. Additional guest presenters included New York-based mastering engineer Alan Silverman. and Californiaq-based engineers Tony Shepperd and Jeff Markham. Sessions included topics such as "Capturing Acoustic Instruments," "Recording Vocals," "The ABC's of Mics and Preamps"— full slate of focused content with an emphasis on live demonstration. Names of this year's presenters will soon be announced, with an equally impressive line-up of topics and talent. Beyond workshops, attendees could also browse the offerings of the sold-out Expo portion of the conference, with gear, products, and services demonstrated by over 50 hardware and software manufacturers and vendors (many offering special NRW+E discounts on their products), as well as professional organizations representing songwriters, musicians, and engineers.
