Gilbert, Ariz., Nov. 27, 2019 – The Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences (CRAS; www.cras.edu), the leading institution for audio engineering education, is proud to announce that it will host “From the Mix to the Master”, an event open and free to the public featuring a full walkthrough of a song from recording session through to mixing and mastering. The evening, hosted by CRAS Women of Audio, will feature presentations by acclaimed mastering engineer Piper Payne and Waves Audio’s own Director of Education and Training Michael Pearson-Adams.
The event will be held on Dec. 5 starting at 7:30pm (doors open at 7:00pm), at CRAS’ Gilbert campus (1205 North Fiesta Blvd.; Gilbert, AZ 85233). Please RSVP at: https://www.waves.com/events/december-2019-from-the-mix-to-the-master
The evening will be opened by Pearson-Adams (mix engineer for Creed, Shakira, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page) as he takes the audience through a recording and mix session that he will be prepping for mastering.
Based out of Nashville, acclaimed mastering engineer and Waves Audio artist Piper Payne (Third Eye Blind, Madame Gandhi) will then take the audience through Pearson-Adams’ mix and explain the good, bad, and the ugly, so that you will leave with a deeper knowledge of how to best prepare your music for the final mastering stage, and ultimately release.
This is not to be missed for those who seek a more holistic understanding of the relationship between the music production process and how the song is perceived by listeners around the world.
“Waves Audio has been a major supporter of the CRAS Women of Audio group since we formed earlier this year, and they have been involved with the Conservatory for much longer than that,” said Nancy Scharlau Murman, CRAS Women of Audio faculty advisor. “We can’t thank Waves enough for the love and support they have shown us and we would like to give a special thanks to Piper Payne and Michael Pearson-Adams for participating in this event.”
