The Ohio University Student Section of the Audio Engineering Society is excited to wrap up Fall of 2015 with one more exciting meeting. The section will hold a Student-Led Listening Session December 2nd at 7pm in Schoonover 346.
If you've recently completed an audio mix for a MDIA class or have some audio (or audio + video) projects you're working on, you're welcome and encouraged to show them off and share with the group. Plus, you can get advice before your projects are due!
This feedback from peers not only helps you grow as an engineer, it's an opportunity to get together and talk about mixing and how to improve in a non-class environment. You don't have to present, but we strongly suggest attending anyway as it's a great way to listen to everyone's work and gain valuable input. All are welcome, and you can present any project (personal or school related) no matter the quality or production stage, so please spread the word!
