Gilbert, Ariz., Dec. 1, 2022 – The Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences (CRAS; www.cras.edu), the leading institution for audio engineering education, is proud to announce an in-house event with acclaimed recording engineer, mixer, and record produce Bob Clearmountain and Apogee founder and CEO Betty Bennett with CRAS’ AES student section on Dec. 2 at the school’s Gilbert, Ariz. campus. The Apogee CRAS Takeover will include Apogee product demos and interactive mix sessions, alongside more intimate student discussions.

“To say that we are excited to have Bob and Betty visit with our student AES section is an understatement,” said David Kohr CRAS AES Faculty Advisor. “They will provide multiple presentations and interactive demos before and after the full school event where they will take the stage together to talk about the state of the industry and Apogee products and technologies.”

Clearmountain and Roger Robindoré will be hosting Dolby Atmos demos in CRAS Studio D. Apogee Product Specialist George Williams will be at a demo booth showcasing Apogee products and answering student questions.

Apogee VIP Artist Theron “Neff-U” Feemster will be in the CRAS Studio A Live Room showcasing music production using an Apogee workflow. Neff-U will discuss how he adapts his workflow to follow the inspiration, from hotel room to world-class studio. He’ll also share his wisdom on how young producers/engineers can succeed in the very competitive industry they’re aspiring to join.

CRAS will also have an interactive demo room set up in CRAS Studio B Live Room where students will be able to dissect an in-the-box mix that Clearmountain has done. They will be able to hear the original multi tracks, and then hear the mix Bob did using Apogee plugins.

Clearmountain has worked with many prominent names in music, including Bruce Springsteen (mixing Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.” and 25 other projects), The Rolling Stones (re-mixes of the singles “Miss You” and “Out of Tears”) as well as their “Tattoo You” album amongst over 20 album, movie, and concert video projects, Bryan Adams (producing and/or mixing nearly all of his albums since 1983), David Bowie, Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry, and 235 other artists. His most recent works include recording and mixing the Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concerts from Wembley Stadium and the Los Angeles Forum and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony for HBO.
