Sonnox has announced their support for the METAlliance (Music Engineering and Technical Alliance) in their presentation of the second In Session event.
The event is scheduled for February 19-20, 2011 in NYC at Avatar Studios.
Sonnox plug-ins will be provided for sessions and attendees who register by January 18 will be eligible to win a Native Sonnox Essential bundle, an approximately $900 value.
METAlliance co-founder George Massenburg commented, “Sonnox plugs combine innovative engineering and design and flawless execution. They go to extraordinary lengths to provide plugs that are always reliable.”
METAlliance co-founder Ed Cherney added, “I won’t go into a mixing session without my Sonnox plugs. The Inflator let’s me make loud refs for my clients, without ruining my hard fought balances.”
“The reverbs are rich, deep and clear. The EQ is always pristine and phase coherent. Great tools that I always rely on.”
“In Session with The Guys” attendees will participate and interact with the METAlliance founders in live recording and mixing sessions. The first artist announced for the Avatar sessions is jazz luminary Kat Edmonson.
The inaugural 2010 METAlliance event in Hollywood at the historic studios in the Capitol Records tower gave participants a close-up look at basic tracking and mic techniques; in separate mixing sessions they were presented with the processes in significant detail and experienced in-depth critical listening.
Sonnox Ltd. evolved out of Sony Oxford, designer of the famed OXF-R3 Digital Mixing Console, commonly called ‘the Oxford Console’. The Native Sonnox Essential bundle includes Oxford EQ, Oxford Dynamics, Oxford Reverb, and Oxford DeEsser.
The METAlliance offers a unique opportunity to experience living history while learning invaluable techniques with the legendary master craftsmen who founded the METAlliance.
Every attendee will participate in four sessions, each designed to provide different experiences in the recording process and led by the founding members. Space is very limited.
Recording:
• Session One: Phil Ramone and Al Schmitt.
• Session Two: Elliot Scheiner and Ed Cherney.
Mixing:
• Session Three: Chuck Ainlay.
• Session Four: “In the Box” home studio mixing with Frank Filipetti and George Massenburg in a home studio environment.
Amenities include catered food and a special private gathering February 18th for those who register by January 18, 2011.
