Now that the holidays are over, it's time to put a wet thumb up in the air and hope it doesn't suffer frostbite while trying to figure out what workshops we should run at the Frankenfest.
Workshops typically run 30-45 minutes or are ad-hoc as interest dictates (in the case of tube-testing workshops n'stuff).
Typically, they'd run at 2:00 and if there's a second one, that'd be at 3:00.
Vinyl Workshop Series:
There's been a lot of interest in turntable stuff and here's a summary of the vinyl workshop series:
In the spirit of presenting and nurturing a series of vinyl workshops, here's a proposition for three vinyl workshops:
1. Turntable setup: Fall Frankenfest: Done!
2. Turntable cleanup: Crud removal and restoration: Winter Freezefest: Volunteers needed.
3. Digitizing vinyl rips, cleaning up clicks and pops, file rendering for digital playback: Summer Sweatfest: Bostown has volunteered. Others?
Who's interested in resurrecting turntables and would like to discuss it? In the spirit of the Frankenfest, who's going to show the innards of an old idler wheel turntable and talk about what to do to resurrect it?
How about an old console turntable?
What about resurrecting that old belt drive or direct drive turntable picked up at a yard sale?
Workshops require three things:
1. Enough people have to be interested in a workshop to request and then attend it.
2. Someone has to agree to deliver the workshop.
3. Space has to be made available and planning needs to be completed.
These are not onerous professional workshops.
They're fun informal clinics on subjects of audio interest by and for enthusiasts.
If you have a suggestion for a workshop, please post it in this thread.
If you have knowledge and are willing to perform a workshop, please post it in this thread and I will contact you to coordinate time and location and drum up interest.
If you have knowledge but are not experienced in delivering a workshop or are curious about how this works and would like assistance with planning, please let me know.
This post contains a history and links to other threads about workshops. This is how we keep track of workshops and threads from past NE AK'er get-togethers.
