[linux-audio-dev] CCRMA summer workshops in Banff, Canada

Greetings all, a quick note to bring to your attention some exciting audio summer courses happening this summer in Canada. This summer is a special one for the annual CCRMA summer workshops, the workshop series is expanded and is being held in a spectacular new setting at the Banff Centre for the Arts in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. All of the workshops include significant hands-on lab components. The labs will be done on Planet-CCRMA equipped linux workstations - a great opportunity to get acquainted with linux audio tools while learning volumes of useful theory and implementation details. New this summer is the Digital Audio Effects workshop taught by Jonathan Abel and David Berners with special guest Julius Smith. The course focuses on theory and practice of simulating / implementing a wide range of classic analog audio effects (including compressors, reverbs, equalizers ...) in the digital domain. Abel and Berners hail from Universal Audio and are the driving force behind UA's range of renowned and widely used digital audio effect plugins. Detailed descriptions of the courses and registration information is available here: http://www.banffcentre.ca/ccrma/ For questions please do not hesitate to contact the faculty of the courses you're interested in directly, myself, or the banff centre at arts_info(a)banffcentre.ca (1.800.565.9989 or 403.762.6180).
