Following our session with Buma Music in Motion, Ownors, NBSO LA, we are back with the second session of NL Media Music in LA. This time, we will be joined by the amazing Gary Gray who’ll tell you all about walking the walk in LA (and beyond). Gary Gray is a renowned award-winning composer, producer, engineer and Voting Member of the Grammy Recording Academy.
During this session, Gary will pass on his knowledge as a go-to mentor who specializes in Music Production for Licensing, while also sharing outcomes of his scientific research of music, sound, psychoacoustics and sonic illusions. He will pay close attention to these topics, but will also touch ground on how to survive and thrive in LA (and beyond), the basics of creating mixing magic and an in-depth explanation of the number one challenge for every musician, composer, producer and engineer: the low end (and how to nail your low end every single time).
You can join Gary’s masterclass on October 28 at 18:00 h – 19:15 h CEST
