Krannert's Audio Team for Ellnora '09 - The Guitar Festival
I work and study at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. My activities include providing live sound reinforcement, recording and sound design for many of the performances at the center, as part of the audio team.

This is the Great Hall Recording Studio
- This is the monitoring position for the Great Hall recording studio. This studio is equipped with 8 Channels of Buzz Audio preamps (True Systems, Yamaha, other pres available for more channels), an Alesis HD24 hard disk recorder and Meyer HD-1 monitors. The Midas console is used for live to 2-track (CD) mixing and monitoring.
This is the new Post Production Studio. It is not done, but has been forced into action by the many projects I have going on. Soon to come are: A rack, a small console, a couch and further acoustic treatment. It's actually a pretty good sounding small control room.
Visible here are the acoustic treatment panels on the ceiling. This design was developed by Andy and I.
This is the room that is becoming the archive room. A WORK IN PROGRESS!
The Vault, the KCPA Audio Department's newly renovated maintenance shop/electronics lab.
The Vault also has storage for less frequently used cable and equipment.
