It Sounds Muddy 2024

We only have 4 more spots open for “It Sounds Muddy” the pro (or aspiring pro) engineer training course May 6-8th, 2018 in Denver, CO! We take over an awesome Venue and get to work!

We’ve mixed almost every pro A cappella group, and we can teach you what it takes to get into the business and be successful! We’ve mixed Pentatonix, TAKE 6, Home Free, The Manhattan Transfer, Face Vocal Band and Straight No Chaser, and EVERY Collegiate front running group including the ICCA and ICHSA finals. Tony Huerta, our Pro Engineer performed on The Sing Off, and recorded or mixed The Real Group and NOTA for the Shakira Tour and Vocalosity for Deke Sharon.  Now we are working for Disney and Deke Sharon on the new Disney “dCAppella” show that will launch on tour in early 2019!

We need to train new engineers to mix A cappella music! This 3 day intensive seminar is the start.  Several of you have sent personal messages about getting to be a part of this company of engineers. But, we will not take anyone on unless we have had an extensive training on the art of mixing a cappella, ie… “It Sounds Muddy”

First, you learn everything from signal flow, to wireless technology, to networking audio (Dante, Madi, REAC), and all major digital mixing consoles. Then we learn the theory of a cappella engineering from EQ, to Sonic elements, to compression (or lack there of), and venue room acoustics. Then we virtually mix 15 different professional groups and bands. That’s when we can hear your mixing talent and start to find the path to plugging you into the team. So far we have Charlie Friday of Clear Harmonies, Paul kaleka of “Voice Play” and “The Exchange”, Andrew Lefkowits of “Naturally 7”, and Trist Ethan Curless, vocalist of Manhattan Transfer and ex-Bass of m-pact. And a budding new mixing star in Hannah Shutt from the University of Northern Colorado!!

There are some weekends where we are ALL booked for awesome a cappella shows all over the USA! And there are two-three shows that we cannot cover. We need more good a cappella engineers!!!!

Go to acappellamix.com and sign up. I want to get to know your “ears”!  Yes, there is a cost ($945 before 4/23, and $1045 after), but it is definitely worth it when we are able to book you to fly out and mix a show at a minimum $500. Feel free to contact the engineers listed here and ask their opinion of the training or the bookings.
