SUMMARY:Soldering for Beginners
DESCRIPTION:Soldering for Beginners Webinar\n\n\n\nSoldering is one of the most useful skills a sound technician can have. It can seem daunting at first\, but it is surprisingly easy once you know-how. It can help you understand your equipment and signal flow better\, save you money\, and there’s nothing quite like whipping out a soldering iron and saving a gig to silence the doubters. \n\nThis webinar will cover the basics of soldering and we will be making and soldering an XLR Cable. The webinar is taught by Christina Milinusic and will be assisted by Barbara Adams. \nApril 18 at 3 PM PST/6 PM EST \nRegistration is limited to 60 people. \nRegister Here\nYou need to gather the following materials and review this Soldering PDF CMilinusic_SoundGirls_SolderingXLR(1) \nTo make an XLR cable you need\nStandard 3 wire analog cable.\nThe configuration of this balanced cable is signal (+)\, signal (-)\, and shielded common (ground). The (+) wire carries the in-phase signal and the (-) wire carries the inverted signal. This balanced cable has good noise rejection because the noise is always in-phase. This means once the cable is plugged in the (in-phase) noise will be subtracted out. The recommended maximum length of an XLR is 100 feet (30 meters). \nXLR Connectors (Plug-Socket) \n  \n\n \n2 XLR Connectors (Both Plug and Socket) \n\n  \nTools needed \n\nSoldering Iron\,\nSolder\nWire strippers and flush cutters.\nPanavise ‘helping hand’\,\nNeedle Nose Pliers\, a utility tool (Leatherman)\nSolder Sucker or Solder Wick\n\nSee PDF for pictures \nCMilinusic_SoundGirls_SolderingXLR(1) \n

SUMMARY:Ask the Experts – Mixing for Live Broadcasts
DESCRIPTION:Mixing for a live broadcast is exciting and challenging because anything can happen and it is up to the production teams to keep everything on track.

SUMMARY:Ask the Experts – Audio Restoration & Archiving
DESCRIPTION:Audio restoration is the process of removing imperfections (such as hiss\, impulse noise\, crackle\, wow and flutter\, background noise\, and mains hum) from sound recordings. Audio restoration can be performed directly on the recording medium (for example\, washing a gramophone record with a cleansing solution)\, or on a digital representation of the recording using a computer. \nAudio restoration definitely presents some unique challenges. You have the noise imprint from a poor recording or media that’s degraded over the last 30 years. You have to figure out how you define the noise and highlight aspects of the recording that are sonically engaging but etch out that which detracts from the vivacity of the music. Audio restoration is a subjective process\, and there are many strategies or perspectives that the audio engineer or sound editor can employ. \nThe archival perspective says that audio restoration should restore the recording to its original condition\, while the commercial perspective says that the recording should be both restored and enhanced to appeal most immediately to modern audiences. \nThis is your opportunity to ask professional broadcast engineers questions about their careers\, jobs\, and what skills you need to work in live broadcasts. Panelist include Catherine Vericolli\, Jessica Thompson\, Anna Frick\, and Maria Rice \nAsk the Experts – Audio Restoration & Archiving\nApril 30 at 11 AM PST/2 PM EST\nRegister and Post your questions\nModerated by Catherine Vericolli\nCatherine Vericolli is a recording and archival engineer\, and an outspoken analog purist. She opened Fivethirteen Recording Studios in Phoenix\, AZ in 2005\, where for nearly fifteen years she’s dedicated herself to keeping the traditional analog recording process alive in the desert. Her studio hosts national touring bands\, guest engineers\, and film scoring projects\, in addition to providing a high-end recording experience for the many local bands that call Arizona home. Now\, Catherine specializes in production\, studio management\, machine maintenance and analog transfers. Splitting time between Nashville\, TN and Phoenix\, she’s also the transfer and project manager for Useful Industries\, Archiving and Restoration. She can be found traveling the country speaking on panels about audio\, writing for industry publications\, and educating the next generation of audio engineers. Catherine is also active in advocacy for women in audio\, and she serves on the board of SoundGirls. \nPanelists Include\nJessica Thompson\nGRAMMY-nominated mastering and restoration engineer and audio preservation specialist Jessica Thompson has digitized\, restored\, and revived historic recordings for artists ranging from jazz pianist Erroll Garner to blues and folk revolutionary Barbara Dane\, from Ethiopian keyboardist Hailu Mergia to proto-punk band Jack Ruby\, from anarcho-hardcore band Crucifix to synthesizer legend Pauline Anna Strom. She masters music both new and old\, including every release from cult-favorite label Awesome Tapes From Africa. She sometimes writes gear reviews for Tape Op Magazine and contributed a chapter on “Mastering the Sonics of Historic Recording Media” for the book Music Preservation and Archiving Today. She currently serves as President of the San Francisco Chapter of the Recording Academy. In her spare time\, she likes to ride steel bikes and walk her dog\, Eddie. @jathompso https://www.jessicathompsonaudio.com/ \nAnna Frick\nAnna is a mastering engineer and the restoration center manager at Airshow Mastering in Boulder\, Colorado. Her work encompasses studio albums\, live recordings\, reissues\, and compilations across an array of formats\, old and new\, and a wide variety of genres and styles\, from bluegrass and folk-influenced acts to rock and New Age projects. Legends like Ralph Stanley and Doc Watson\, exciting contemporaries such as Billy Strings and GRAMMY-nominated Wood & Wire\, and important blues and jazz archival recordings have all benefited from her uncanny ear and deft touch. She balances her strong instincts and intuition with her technical experience and each client’s goals to finesse every project she tackles. “[A band has] been working on their album for quite a while by the time I hear it\, and it’s their vision – their baby – that they are putting out into the world. I don’t want to impede that vision. Ultimately\, I want the music to move you.” \nFor Airshow’s restoration center she oversees all archival digitization projects. She mastered Third Man Records’ GRAMMY-winning box set\, The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records\, as well as having mastered thousands of hours’ worth of historical recordings from university archives and collections across the country. Each project is unique\, with a singular story and special considerations: “[It] involves everything from understanding the recording medium\, the equipment\, and the transfer process to having the tools and the knowledge to tackle all sorts of bizarre problems. Understanding digital audio files and how to maintain file integrity over time.” \nAnna holds a degree in Music Industry Studies from the University of Colorado at Denver.
