LAS VEGAS – Michael Abbott and Dr. Fred Ginsburg have been sharing some of their insights for the broadcast and film audio crowd at NAB this week, taking part in Audio-Technica's audio demonstration and instruction events at the company's booth, C1632.
Throughout each day from April 12 through April 14, Abbott, who serves as the audio coordinator for the Grammy Awards, has been presenting multi-track microphone mixing demonstrations entitled "Mix a Basketball Game in 5.1." The sessions have been allowing attendees to mix a basketball game under Abbott's direction. Participants have gotten the opportunity to experience real-time, hands-on mixing in A-T's custom listening room, using new equipment (including a Calrec Sigma audio console), and audition and compare stereo, mono, shotgun and boundary mic options.
Also from April 12 through 14, Dr. Fred Ginsburg, specialist in production sound recording for motion pictures and video, has been presenting "Audio Acquisition Tips & Tricks." A member of the Cinema Audio Society, Ginsburg has been sharing his personal techniques for film/video audio acquisition. His background includes nearly two decades as a sound mixer on feature films, episodic TV and commercials, as well as for corporate and government applications.
