Sound Engineering Workshop with Abbey Road Studios

On December 17, a special workshop took place over the course of an entire afternoon at the Steinmühle Forum, reports Ulrike Wilmsmeyer from the Music Student Council:
Students in music courses E and Q were introduced to the basics of sound engineering by Walter Hauschild from Abbey Road Studio in Frankfurt. First, there was an extremely interesting introductory presentation on sound engineering, the training program, and a very comprehensive description of the job profile of a sound engineer in the field of popular music. Afterward, the students received a thorough introduction to working with microphones, mixing consoles, and sound effects. Afterward, they were able to work in groups of three using the mixing consoles brought in for the workshop and individually mix a given pop song. The results were listened to and discussed together as a group. It was a successful workshop that everyone thoroughly enjoyed.
