So I’ve now been at Harman Signal Processing for about 3 weeks (honestly these posts slipped my mind a bit and I will pick up the frequency of them after this). I am now \u00a0a small part of the marketing team for Harman. This team manages the promotion of sales for DigiTech, DOD, BSS Audio, dbx, and Lexicon. Harman owns and manages many other companies but the corporate stuff for the other ones happen at different locations.<\/p>\n
Over the past three weeks I’ve been working closely with one of the main marketing coordinators for DigiTech. He put up a soundcloud page a while ago but it has been nearly empty since it started as no one has time to post any content. Tom, the marketing coordinator asked me to record myself playing guitar and bass through\u00a0various different stompboxes from DigiTech, and post the audio on the soundcloud page. The goal was for customers to be able to hear audio of what a pedal sounds like before they buy it. By now I have made audio clips of every stompbox effect that DigiTech and DOD makes, and they are all posted here:\u00a0https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/digitechfx<\/a><\/p>\n In between these pedal demos I’ve also been working with another marketing coordinator, Jason, who manages things for dbx, a pro audio equipment company. dbx makes a wide variety of rack units that range from mic preamps, compressors, subharmonic synthesizers, loudspeaker management systems, graphic equalizers etc. He has asked me to do various tests on a brand new mic preamp from dbx called the 676. I have been using it on all kinds of different instrumental and vocal tracks, compiling my opinions, as well as comparing it to other competitors preamps. I have also been recording audio from the preamp and assembling sound libraries for other members of the team to hear my tests and comparisons. The next thing he has asked me to do is to start making short videos that could be used for tutorials, and demonstrating the changing of different parameters on the 676, which will later be posted on their youtube channel.<\/p>\n It may sound like I’m just playing with pedals and some studio equipment, but as a result I’ve spent every single day\u00a0in a recording studio, working with Pro Tools, patch bays, microphones, and a lot of other high end studio tools that I otherwise would not have been able to learn about. Everything I’m doing so far is related to my field of interest and I’m having a great time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So I’ve now been at Harman Signal Processing for about 3 weeks (honestly these posts slipped my mind a bit and I will pick up the frequency of them after this).
