Carl Tatz Design has announced a three-episode blog series for engineers, producers and studio owners – called MixRoom Mentor, this will be available free to anyone signed up to the CTD mailing list.

‘One of the reasons that I’ve created the MixRoom Mentor series is to share what we’ve learned after designing so many award-winning PhantomFocus MixRoom studios and installing even more PhantomFocus Systems across the US over the past decade-plus,’ says CTD founder and studio designer, Carl Tatz.

‘I realise that not everyone is necessarily financially postured, at least early on, to have us install a PhantomFocus System let alone a full-blown PhantomFocus MixRoom, but there are some simple principles that I can share that are very worthwhile if understood and applied.’

Tatz will explain the philosophies and protocols of the PhantomFocus System, and share information and tools that can be put to use in a variety of mix rooms. ‘Whether you are just starting out in your audio career or are already a seasoned pro, I will be providing insights and tools to help you bump up your game and make your job more productive and enjoyable,’ he says.

‘In the past, my approach to acoustics, and monitoring in particular, had often gone against the grain of conventional approaches in the industry, and yet our client satisfaction rate continued to bat a thousand. Now we see manufacturers and audio professionals beginning to nod to some of our philosophies and teachings in their product offerings and recommendations. In the Mix Room Mentor Series, you will learn about field-tested and proven techniques and observations that you won’t hear about from anyone else.

‘In the MixRoom Mentor series episodes we want to help as many serious engineers and studio owners as we can by sharing some of our proprietary recommendations right out of the pages of the PhantomFocus protocols playbook that have worked so successfully for so many.’

The first episode is scheduled for 22 March.
