Los Angeles, CA, May, 2007 – For the second year in a row, top audio professionals convened at The Village Recorder to share their tips and tricks for making great home studio recordings and teaching the essentials for making a successful career in audio engineering / producing.

The annual conference was established by engineer and consultant David Hampton, who for over 25 years has contributed to the success of top artists such as Herbie Hancock, Marcus Miller, Prince, and Rafael Saadiq.  His new book, “So, You’re an Audio Engineer. . . Well, Here’s the Other Stuff You Need to Know,” is used in classes at Full Sail’s “Recording Arts” program.

Among conference participants were Grammy® Award-winning engineers Ralph Sutton (Stevie Wonder), Khaliq Glover (Prince, Justin Timberlake), producer/arranger/programmer Darrell Diaz (Herbie Hancock, Arturia), Leslie Ann Jones (Skywalker Sound), Al Ramirez, Conley Abrams III, Clarence McDonald, Eric Zobler (George Duke), Morris Hayes, Randy Emata, Tina Morris, and Kelli Clark (20th Century Fox).  A highlight of the weekend was a panel discussion moderated by comedian/actor/studio owner Sinbad.

Sponsors included the Producers & Engineers Wing of NARAS, GC Pro, HP, Monster Cable, MATK Corp. Blue Sky International,  and Avastor.
