5 day training course on 5.1 Surround and Loudness for OSN in Dubai

5 day training course on 5.1 Surround and Loudness for OSN in Dubai

As well as making programmes and knowing a bit about Pro Tools we also provide a variety of media related audio courses which we taylor to each client’s needs.

We were approached by Orbit Showtime Network to run a 5 day training course for their audio department to help them to start producing their content in surround especially for their HD channels.

Go to OSN's web siteOSN is the Middle East and North Africa equivalent of Sky and they also asked me to advise on how to integrate surround into their workflows and  to train and advise on the thorny issue of loudness too.
