Audio gremlins (and how to slay them)

Audio gremlins are everywhere, always seeking to find their way into our productions, whether we are working with audio recorded in a studio, at home, or in the field.
In this class, audio engineer and trainer Rob Byers will help you learn how to identify what’s really going on, give you real-world tips to prevent the most common audio problems, and help you discern when it’s time to seek assistance.
There will be lots of listening — please bring a pair of headphones to class.
*This class is capped at 30.
