TWiRT 506 - Audio Builders Workshop with Chris Kincaid

If you’ve ever thought, “There should be a group that promotes learning electronics and audio to teens and college students,” well, there is! It’s Audio Builders Workshop (ABW), a working group of the Boston AES Section.  Chris Kincaid is lecturer at the Purdue School of Engineering & Technology and Program Manager with ABW. While many ABW events focus on simple electronic kits, more seasoned engineers have access to truly professional projects. Large diaphragm condenser mics, ribbon mics, 500-series format mic preamps, and studio audio levelers are DIY projects available through ABW’s partner companies.

TWiRT 505 - Overcoming Social Distancing with Chris Tobin and Greg Dahl

Broadcasting from home - working alone - informing and entertaining - keeping virtual company with our listeners; we’re doing the best we can during these continued lockdowns and social distancing. Industry events keep getting canceled or postponed, and we’re substituting in-person meeting with virtual ones and with webinars.  Is it working?  Are some things actually a bit better this way?  Kirk and Chris explore these notions. Plus we’re talking with Greg Dahl.  He’s bringing “The Next Best Thing” to 40 cities across the USA over the next 4 months in a socially distanced mobile equipment show. 

Show Notes:
Chris mentioned Busby Berkeley a couple times. Here’s the camera shot he’s talking about.
