Console Lab Returns to Buena Park, CA

On February 8th and 9th, our Console Lab sessions will return to Buena Park, CA. Console Lab gives experienced audio engineers the opportunity to reserve a PM5D, M7CL, or LS9 console for a couple hours to work on their mixing skills. This is not a typical class where the instructors guide you through the board. It's just you, the console, and a multi-track recording of a show. Need a little help figuring something out? No problem! A training staff member will be there to answer any questions.

So, if you've ever thought to yourself, "Man, if I could just get my hands on that console for a couple hours". Now you'll have the chance... Sign up today!

Extra Day of PM5D Training Added!

Due to high demand, we've added an extra day of PM5D Operational Training in Buena Park, CA. The session will take place on October 6th, 2011. Please click on the link below to register.

2010 Training Schedule

We have had many inquires about our 2010 Training Schedule lately, so I thought I would post a note here! Our free training seminars are hosted outside of our Buena Park, CA office between April and November. Between December and March, the majority of our classes are held at our Buena Park office.

Jose and I are currently in the process of working out our travel and class schedule for next year. If you would like to stay updated on our schedule, please subscribe to our Google calendar. Tentative dates will be posted there first and will not post to the Yamaha website until all details (i.e. location, catering, etc) have been finalized. If you would like us to consider your City or facility for a seminar location, please submit your request to ycats@yamaha.com.
