Date Change-Compression Seminar w/Fletcher/Greene/Correia

[david]

The date has been bumped a week to Saturday Novermber 15th. Here's the
info:

We will be holding a very special one day Recording Seminar on Saturday
November 15th from noon to 5pm. Celebration owner David Correia will
host two very special guests: internationally known Fletcher of
Mercenary Audio and his mentor, the multi-platinum New England engineer
Phil Greene. (If y'all think Fletcher's a character, let me introduce
you to Phil ;>)

We¹ll be spending the day on a great subject - using compressors. We
will talk about and then demonstrate how pros use compression. We¹ll
spend the first half of the class doing a give and take with the
participants. You¹ll get to ask all the questions you¹ve always wanted
to about the subject. And after the break we will hit the control room
and demo exactly what we¹ve been talking about.

We will spend time showing some tricks with a very inexpensive
compressor, the RNC, as well as letting you hear the old standby Urei
compressors and other outboard units available on the market today, and
even some digital audio plug-in compressors from within ProTools.

Our last Studio Seminar had people attending from 5 states, from as far
away as Ohio. There will be information about using compressors
presented that come from decades of first hand experience using them.
If you are interested call us to get a spot. You¹ll leave knowing a lot
more than when you arrived. The added plus is spending the afternoon
with Fletcher and Phil, which is almost worth the price of admission
all by itself.

The Seminar costs $100. To register we will need a $50 deposit, with
the balance due the day of the Seminar. We accept personal checks,
cash, Visa/MC/Amex/Discover and gold doubloons.

If you¹d like to register or have any questions, give us a call at
401-247-0218 or email .

I certainly hope this will be recorded and offered for sale for those who
can't make it.

If we fly in, what is the closet airport? What about the next closest
alternative?

Unfortunately it won't be. The real nature of the class is interactive.

It is an interesting idea, but my first responsibility is for those who
attend, to be sure they are getting the goods. Also these seminars are
a ton of fun for those attending.

Getting to hang with Fletcher, Phil Greene and yes, me, is unique and
powerful opportunity for anyone with questions about using compression.
I've been an engineer since 1981 and I still learn stuff from Phil
whenever we're together. Fletcher, well known here, is a peerless
resource for his knowledge of all the new tools on the market who also
knows the capabilities of all the old school compressors. Both of them
of incredibly interesting company to be in.

Of course I spend more time in "the chair" using compressors than both
of them. (Perhaps I've won the booby prize? ;>)

Airports are easy. There is Greene Airport in nearby Warwick, RI (no,
it's not named after Phil Greene) which the airlines call Providence
Airport which has flights from lotsa airlines, including Southwest. An
hour north of us is Boston's Logan airport.

There is public transportation from both these places directly to us if
you don't want to rent a car, as we are on the bus line from downtown
Providence, and both airports have shuttles to downtown Providence.

Should anyone have any further questions feel free to email or call. I
can just about guarantee both a fun and damn informative afternoon
delving deeply into the world of compression with info and tips you
will not find anywhere else. We still have about 5 spaces left.

I can't certainly understand someone not wanting to go to the trouble of
making something like this available when it can so easily be duplicated and
distributed to others without them paying but there is a huge untapped
market for this kind of stuff.

"this is not a problem"

[reap]

Pertaining to the "give and take" portion of the seminar can I bring my
guitar w/1073 pre or a host of others, (you know how subjective theses damn
things sound combined w/different compressors and microphones) and my
collection of compressors, including: a trakker,altec1612a, joe meek sc2,
disstressor, jbl/ure7110i, dbx165,166, fmr,peavey vcl2 and cbs etc. to see
how they stack up using various amp combos (marshall, mesa, fender etc.)?
You know, to see and hear how the "pros" really use them and set them up?
Would it be prudent to haul a rack of my stuff down there, or do you already
have most of the aforementioned equipment? Will I learn something from this
that is applicable to a more modest recording setup? I live not too far from
Warren, I'm in Marlboro, Ma..


TIA
