Audio Production Field Trip

There’s not much better than real-world experience to immerse yourself in a potential career. Recently, audio production students from The Art Institute of Austin, a branch of The Art Institute of Houston, visited the Rosette, in conjunction with Austin Classical Guitar, for a day of audio industry insight.

There, they got to see a complete digital system in operation.

Instructor Jordan Walsh’s field trip allowed the students to build a channel list from scratch for an unknown band and make microphone choices for the entire band. The students also applied signal processing to each individual channel of audio.

By the end of the day, each student had mixed for half the show, and worked video recording/directing for the other half. This hands-on learning was eye-opening and exciting for the students as they worked toward their goals to complete their audio education and pursue a creative career.
