Prism Sound has announced that its “8 Hours At Rockfield” music production educational event, held in conjunction with Project7 Residential Songwriting Retreats and providing participants with an opportunity to learn about advanced pro audio technology currently on the market, will be returning to Rockfield Studios in Wales on July 16, 2024.
At the event, Prism Sound will showcase its range of audio converter products, including the recently launched ADA-128 modular conversion system, while partner companies will also have demo rooms to highlight their technology to attendees.
“8 Hours at Rockfield gives participants the chance to get hands-on with the very latest technology and to learn about recording techniques from our panel of guest speakers who will host live streamed seminar sessions throughout the day,” says Prism Sound managing director Jody Thorne. “It is also a fantastic opportunity to experience Rockfield’s two state-of-the-art studios, The Coach House and The Quadrangle, both of which have undisputed places in music history for hosting some of the greatest bands in the world including Coldplay, Oasis, Queen, Iggy Pop. George Michael, and many more.”
