"We decided to buy the Audient console to allow students to experience a real studio environment," he explains, citing the fact that ALL students benefit from the upgrade. "Having a real board is an integral part of the authentic studio experience. The console itself helps conjure up that extra magic, highlighting to the musician that they are in a special situation. Seeing and hearing a great console also makes sure everyone is in that moment together."
Burger's drive and dedication to the Recording Programme at Fullerton has had a direct effect on student intake, too. "We grew from 40 students when I took over, to about 450 students a year. Every one of these 450 students will come into contact with the console during the year."
