I am pleased to introduce the information below for a mixing course sponsored by our company and Meyer Sound together at the HKAPA (Hong Kong Academic for Performing Arts) Lyric Theare on 18 & 19 May this months. This is not a public course and available only by invitation with very limited no. of seats.
Instructor:
Buford Jones
Tour Liaison Manager
Buford Jones is legendary in the world of sound reinforcement. Having started his touring career at Showco in the 1970s, the list of those he has mixed since is a genuine “Who’s Who” of pop music of the last three decades, including Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, George Harrison, James Taylor, ZZ Top, Pat Benatar, Three Dog Night, Prince, Al Jarreau, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, David Bowie, Faith Hill, The Kinks, Clint Black, and Counting Crows. As Pink Floyd’s FOH mixer, Jones gained valuable experience from the unusual opportunity to mix a major tour in surround. From Jones’s post heading Meyer Sound’s Nashville office he remains in constant contact with touring engineers and productions of all genres.

The Mixing Workshop Two Days
Two Days
The Mixing Workshop focuses on the role of the mix engineer in live audio production. Buford Jones gives attendees the benefit of his vast experience working with an incredible array of artists from numerous genres in a seminar that goes beyond the technical to artistic and even political concerns. Mixing tools and techniques, system tuning, mixing in concert halls, record producer involvement, surround mixing, mixing in isolation are all discussed, but Jones also addresses issues of communication and trust between the artist and the mix engineer, and the politics involved in any production, from large-scale tours, to corporate events and house of worship productions.
Day one will include a lecture and presentation that emphasizes the benefits of mixing on linear sound systems. Demonstrating this with playback of live recordings and discussions of the various sound systems used.
Day two will expand on live mixing, demonstrations of implementing common signal processing, as well as giving attendees an opportunity to mix and receive advice on how to improve their skills from a master of the trade.
Kindly let me know if you and your colleague would like to join, and send me their names and contacts – I think about 2 seats will be available for your colleagues. I will give the starting time for the course to you asap.
Cheers!
