Nashville, TN (May 2, 2024)—Sweetwater, Avid and PMC, along with the newly added Audiomovers, will turn the spotlight on the immersive mix studio itself as they host a pair of expert panels —“Putting Together an Immersive Mix Room” and “Best Workflow for Immersive Mixing”—in the legendary RCA Studio A as part of Mix Nashville: Immersive Music Production II, to be held on Saturday, May 11, along Music Row.
“It’s exciting to see such an excellent coming together of talent and technology, as represented by these four companies and the people they’ll have in the room,” says Tom Kenny, Co-Editor of Mix. “We have Avid, which provides the nerve center for the majority of pro studios. We have PMC, one of the true pioneers and evangelists in the immersive space. We have Sweetwater, which has designed, built and served as the integrator for more immersive studios than anyone would imagine. And we have Audiomovers, to move all that music around the world. The entire process is covered in one room!
“Plus, we have to give a nod to the good folks at RCA Studio A for opening up this legendary room to our audience,” Kenny adds. “Built by Chet Atkins, saved a couple of times from the wrecking ball, re-opened a couple of decades ago with Ben Folds as the caretaker, and for the last ten years or so, it’s been the home base for Dave Cobb. This is a rare chance to peek inside. So thanks, Dave, and thanks Sharon Corbitt and Sheridan Gates for making it happen.”
