Rich Topham says "Education is fundamentally the most important part
of the audio business" Professional Sound Services workshops cover the
tools, techniques, and procedures used in the professional sound business. Students
gain an appreciation of the aesthetic aspects of sound recording, learn tricks
for creating an audio design and explore how to manipulate room tone, dialogue,
and effects tracks for a realistic sound presence. Pre-production planning,
boom and wireless microphone operation, microphone planting, tape-deck signal
setup, and other techniques are also addressed. In addition, students are introduced
to the latest recording equipment, inter-format recording for music videos and
commercial production, time code and other management tools for post production.
Each month PSS holds at least two workshops, either on-site in the NYC store
or on-location at various colleges, universities or private businesses. Rich
added " It's great to be with fellow audio technicians and share with them
my personal stories and anecdotes."
