Genelec’s G LearningLab educational programme begins on 4 August with a series of tutorials focusing on the company’s GLM loudspeaker manager software. 6 Steps To Creating Your Sonic Reference sessions will also be used to unveil GLM 4 (the latest version of the software), which is currently in a public beta test phase prior to official launch.
G LearningLab is an educational tool designed to help the audio community better understand how to create high-quality audio and ‘provide an enjoyable listener experience’. Accessible via the Genelec website, G LearningLab offers a wide range of videos, tutorials, user guides, helpdesks and academic papers. It is intended to offer a valuable resource to artists, music creators, sound engineers and system integrators using high-quality on-demand learning – from basic rudiments through to technical and academic principles.
The series of six GLM-specific tutorials will guide attendees through every stage required to set up, calibrate and control a studio monitoring system so that it provides a sonic reference, producing mixes that translate consistently to other rooms and playback systems. Delivered in English, each session will be repeated several times through day to enable those in various time zones to participate. Attendees will be actively encouraged to ask questions, and participate in a Q&A session at the end of each tutorial. Anyone successfully completing four or more tutorials will receive a certificate and also be entered into a prize draw to win a pair of Genelec RAW 8320 Smart Active Monitors and GLM kit.
Launched in 2006 and based on decades of research and data from thousands of studios worldwide, GLM integrates with the intelligent DSP within each Genelec Smart Active Monitor, allowing each monitor and subwoofer to be networked, configured and individually calibrated for the user’s specific acoustic environment.
The six tutorials are aimed at both current GLM users and those who want to learn more about how GLM can improve their workflow and audio quality. The sessions will cover all aspects of GLM use – from simple room acoustics and monitor placement, through basic and advanced GLM features, use of GLM as a System Monitor Controller, finally culminating in a deep technical dive into how exactly GLM works. During the series, presenters will showcase the new GLM 4 beta version, which now brings 64-bit compatibility, an elegant new user interface and a host of valuable new features to users of Genelec Smart Active Monitors and Subwoofers.
‘Audio quality is at the heart of the content creation process, so a fundamental understanding of how to equip a room with a truthful, accurate monitoring system is essential,’ says Genelec Managing Director, Siamak Naghian. ‘G LearningLab is the culmination of over forty years of expertise in educating our partners and end users, and I can’t think of a better way of celebrating that than by shining a spotlight on the new GLM 4, which is about to empower audio professionals with the new Sonic Reference.’
