Mr. Rat's gonna be doing some seminars in every city he gets to on the upcoming chilli's tour. If there's a demand he'll set one up in whatever city there is one. Anyone interested?:pac:

Forget your sound training courses, a day with this guy would teach you 10 times more...

Nope if there's enough demand from people in each town he's going to on this tour he'll set up a seminar. Don't have to be strictly a pro but if you've a strong interest in the subject I'd guess yer welcome!

Great idea, and I'll say he'll make a killing from it too, along with his pay from the tour.

If I currently lived in Dublin I'd gladly pay 45-ish Euro to attend any of Dave's lectures. I've been following his various blogs for a long time and in my amateur opinion he really knows his stuff (as you would have to if hired by the likes of Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers etc).

I've dropped him an email, so count me in

Dunno if it makes a difference but there's a form on the page now...
Says something about someone volunteering to host it, any ideas?

Received this email the other day

Hey,
My name is Kim and I help Dave organize seminars.
Dublin is definitely on our list and we'll be there on the 24th of this month.
Unfortunately you were one of the few who showed interest us hosting a seminar there.
It is still a possibility but i need to get more attendees in order to cover all our costs!
I've been sending links out to sound companies and am still waiting to hear from them.
Do you know of any other leads i could possibly follow in order to make this happen?
It would be a shame to skip it if he's going to be there!

Keep in touch when you can,
Cheers,
Kim

I'm actually gonna be away for it at a gig unfortunately :rolleyes: but i'm sure there's someone around here still interested

got a mail from Kim myself just a few minutes ago. Seminar will be happening either monday evening or tuesday morning, depending on which suits the greater number of interested parties (please let it be monday)
get in touch by email (think its in one of the earlier posts) if you're interested in going along!

Got an email myself, unfortunately cant make either days. Isle of wight FOH beckons!

Best to spread the word with all your audio peers because this definitely isn't worth missing if you're in town!

Hope whoever makes it shares their experiences. Enjoy!

Was this guy the sound engineer for RHCP last night?

Cos apparently the sound was piss poor.
