Sweetwater Gearfest 2011

First of all, let me say I love Ft Wayne Indiana. Nice people, good food, and seems to be a quiet city. Our second day there we ate breakfast at Cosmo’s. We got a huge omelet and two pancakes for $6.29! The food was amazing, which reminds me I need to leave them a good review on Google.
Gearfest 2011 for me was better than last year. I think the seminars was better last year but the experience was better this year. I went with my good friend and fellow engineer/producer/mixer Darius Lyles. Darius is a great at what he does, anyone in the Memphis area should definitely hit him up (dlyles_3@yahoo.com) if you need any recording, production, etc. All of the same vendors was there, plus and minus a few from last year. I spent the most time at the JDK audio booth contemplating purchasing a R24. Best seminar we attended was Fab Dupont showing off how he mixes and masters. If your not familiar with Fab then look him up. He was at Gearfest last year and gave a great seminar on analog summing. Other audio industry stars who attended included Alan Parsons, BT, and Dave Issac. The highlight of the event was when me and Darius were eating lunch at up to our table comes Gil Griffith, Chandler Limited, Eveanna Manley, and Fab Dupont. After hanging with them for a 15-20 mins I paid for a picked up my JDK R24, yes I went ahead and got it, along with the Sound Toys native bundle. And of course I will be doing a review on both.
If your into audio, and I know you are since your reading this, you should definitely check out Sweetwater’s Gearfest next year. The Event is free, the deals are unbelievable, and the experience is worth the trip.
