Drop-In Sessions on L5

The Brand X technical team are opening the doors of the City of Sydney Creative Studios for monthly Drop-In sessions. If you’re a musician, sound artist or just keen on audio in general, come spend some time with us on our Level 5 music floor.

Each Drop-In session will focus on a new topic, from mics and recording, to vocal comping; so come ask questions, pick up a few tips and tricks, and meet some new like-minded folk. 

This is also your chance to check out the studios and share any music or sound related works in progress for feedback (no pressure!), as well as troubleshooting any technical issues you might be having.

Sessions will be led by Brand X Audio Technician, Jess Smallwood. Sessions might get busy, so shoot through any questions or queries you have to Jess (jess@brandx.org.au ) ahead of time and we will see you there!
