Kickin’ It Old School: Analog Technology Is Still Groovy
July 16, 2010
2010 OSU String Teachers Workshop
Links and slides
With digital equipment becoming increasingly popular and affordable, there has been a gap in the effort to include valuable analog equipment into the mix of training and discussion. Analog equipment such as microphones, mixers, amplifiers, and audio processors exist in many classrooms, yet are often used incorrectly. This equipment, while somewhat dated compared to many digital devices, is still valuable and quite usable. This session will discuss some technology you may still have in your building and how to make the best of it.
