I pay my bills by working at SE Systems in Greensboro, NC. It's a pretty cool place to work, especially if you're an audio geek. Not only are we a live events production company, and a pro audio, recording and lighting sales company, but we also have an on-site class/presentation room. We are going to be utilizing that room a lot this spring! I'm excited about that.

Rational Acoustics Smaart Training:

On February 25-27th, 2014, Jamie Anderson from Rational Acoustics- makers of Smaart- audio and acoustic measurement software- will be at SE Systems teaching users how to utilize the software. You can register here: http://www.rationalacoustics.com/events/greensboro-nc/

Smaart is amazing software. In short it allows you to "see" the sound. You can look at the frequency response audio systems. You can look at the reverb time in a room. You can look at the phase correlation between two different audio sources. There's really a lot you can do.
