[QUOTE="Phil Graham, post: 2082, member: 430"] Hey everyone, Bennett and I have been kicking around putting together an advanced system tuning class sometime in the dead of winter (early 2012) when work is typically slower for would-be attendees. I should stress that there is nothing written in stone at this point, but we'd like to make it happen. The class would most likely be in Atlanta at a large multi-auditorium facility that has both line array and point source installs. Our target audience is people who routinely use measurement software to commission portable or installation loudspeaker systems. Good candidates include: A1s, system techs, system designers, technical leads/directors, installation houses, acousticians, and students in related subjects. We'll cap the class at 20(ish) attendees. The class would be prediction and measurement platform agnostic to the greatest extent possible, though we would primarily measure and display data with Smaart 7. The level of the class would [I]start[/I] at a point similar to the last day of a three day Smaart class. [I]We would assume that all attendees are fluent in the operation of their measurement system of choice, but you won't necessarily have to be confident in understanding what the data means[/I]. In fact, we hope attendees would be able to leave some of their pre-conceived notions at coat check. The class would mix classroom and measurement in a back and forth manner. We would have an overview day, then a day specifically on point sources, and finally a third day specifically on line sources. Attendees could purchase either two or three days, depending on their interest in line source systems on day three. Bennett and I both have our own pet topics, but we realize that we are probably myopic on topics relevant to you, your work, your room, your installs, your company, or your roi. [I]We are looking for your input into topics that interest you[/I]. Tell us what you need covered to get value from the class! P.S. Our goal is not to compete or replace any of the existing great training resources available for audio professionals.
