10/02/2016 – Evening seminar with Peter Walsh ‘Defining Mood’

www.fnp.de/lokales/frankfurt/stadtgefluester/Der-Mann-der-den-Ton-bannt;art51666,1857275

 

Peter examines and shares his philosophy and technique on how to get that ‘special something’ out of each production.
Sharing experiences and anecdotes from a career spanning over 35 years, Peter discusses his approach to the art of music production and sound engineering.
Using actual pro tools sessions, from Simple Minds, Scott Walker, and Gilbert O’Sullivan, Peter covers a range of subjects including preproduction, project planning, studio psychology,
song arrangement, dynamic timelines, forced work flow, EQ processing, effects and mixing tips.

‘My aim has always been to give each production a particular, individual character – a special sound quality, which will excite the listener’s senses and touch a place in their hearts’. There is a consistency of approach which intuitively defines the sound and placement of each instrument, where the vocals sit in the mix, and the textures used to create atmosphere or MOOD.’
