UA is a US-based manufacturer of professional audio products. The workshop will start with the legacy of the firm, founded by the legendary Bill Putnam in 1958. ProMusicals has been a player in digital audio inâu00c2u0080u00c2u0088India since 1991. “We will introduce people to our range of UA products that include computer-based audio interfaces and recreations of classic analogue hardware. There will be a live demonstration about how musicians record at home or in studio,” explains Sudhin Prabhakar, founder of ProMusicals. The 53-year-old informs that the session will be interactive. “We will use volunteers from among the audience who will perform and record, edit a music track on the spot.” He adds, “Professionals will treasure the pep talk from eminent sound engineers Ashish Manchanda and Yuichiro Nagai.”
Students will be encouraged to take up sound engineering as a career. They will learn the nuances of hardware and software products. “The workshop will give students a hands-on experience with the high-end tools,” he says.
Prabhakar is also known as a tech guru. He is rated highly by musicians, especially ARâu00c2u0080u00c2u0088Rahman and Sivamani. In the ’80s, he used to perform with the Madras-based band Nemesis Avenue where Rahman played keyboards.
