Time: 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm

Place: National Boston Studios

 

 

On the Agenda:

 

AUDIO ALCHEMY - THE MYSTERY AND SCIENCE OF SOUNDTRACK PRODUCTION  

Quality sound can be among the most elusive and least quantifiable of production values - and yet, the impact of the soundtrack can make or break a production.

Join our panel of experts as they take you through each step of the process, from production to sound design, music score and post production - highlighting the elements that can make for a good soundtrack, and showing you the traps to avoid along the way.  Some of the leading experts in the audio field are expected to attend including:

Dylan Schwartz, Rumblestrip Audio
Jim Sullivan, Mix One Studios
Tom Williams, Location recorder and mixer
Brian McKeever, Soundtrack Boston
John Kusiak, Composer
