Open Studios and Mixer

Get ready for our first-ever open studios, a one day opportunity to visit some of the top audio facilities in the Oakland and Berkeley area, followed by an audio-industry mixer at 25th Street Recording in Oakland. It’s like a pub crawl, open-house, and house party all rolled into one day. To attend and get the latest updates and info which you’ll need to participate, register here for a free ticket.  Currently the registration is full.  You can check at our ticket registration for openings in case of cancellations. Everybody needs to have a ticket with them to attend the tours and mixer.

Note: It’s very important that you register with the correct email address, because all of the details you need to participate will be emailed to registered participants.

12:00pm to 5:00pm: Open Studios
You can get an inside look at many of the recording and post-production studios in the East Bay.

AES San Francisco will provide a list of participating facilities, and you’ll be responsible for your own for transportation. There is no shuttle. If you’re car-challenged, many of the studios can be reached by BART, bus or bike.

Be sure to pick up a raffle ticket at each location for our raffle drawing during the mixer. The more studios you visit, the more chances you have to win.

5:00pm to 10:00pm Industry Mixer
We’ll gather at 25th Street Recording a social mixer with light refreshments and raffle prizes from our  sponsors, including:

Adobe
AEA Ribbon Mics
Avid
Mercury Recording Equipment

A more detailed list of prizes has been added here.

Food: From 5:00-8:00 pm the Fist of Flour Pizza pizza truck will be parked in front, where you can purchase fresh handmade slices or pies, so head on over after the tours.
