Taking place in Madrid (27 January), Santiago de Compostela (2 February), Barcelona (10 February), Lisbon (1 March), Porto (3 March) and Tenerife (9 March), the training is part of the Yamaha Commercial Audio Training Seminar (YCATS) programme, which provides free, advanced training for sound engineers who already have a good working knowledge of digital audio mixing.
The major topics of each day will be: General overview of the Yamaha CL and QL consoles; System Configuration; Using two consoles (FOH and Monitors); Working with Gain Compensation; Live multitrack recording with Nuendo Live; Advanced Memory Management and An introduction to Dante networking and switches.
Each course lasts from 10am-6pm, with lunch provided. Because only a small number of places on YCATS courses are available, each attendee enjoys quality hands-on time with the consoles and is able to follow, step-by-step, the information provided by Yamaha's experienced trainers.
As numbers are very limited, anyone wishing to participate in any of the other days should apply as soon as possible. Forms can be downloaded from http://data.yamaha.jp/sdb/local/products/images/51754/99/51754_99_1.pdf
