The annual AES Nashville Spring Mixer is a competition hosted by AES Nashville to benefit the schools teaching audio engineering in and around Middle Tennessee. Each school selects a team of 2-3 students who are given the opportunity to mix one song in eight hours at one of eight identical mixing rooms at MTV/CMT studios in downtown Nashville. The resulting mix is judged by a panel of industry professionals – mixing engineers, mastering engineers, and producers. The results of that judging are revealed along with anonymous comments on the students’ work at our Spring Mixer event!
See photos and info from the 2018 edition here.
The 2019 results and playback/critique event will be April 11. Details TBA.

ABOUT: Women's Audio Mission
Women's Audio Mission is a San Francisco based, non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of women in music production, professional audio and the recording arts. In a field where women are chronically under-represented (less than 5%), WAM seeks to "change the face of sound" by providing hands-on training, experience, career counseling and job placement to women and girls in music and media technology for music, radio, film, television and the internet. WAM believes that women's mastery of professional audio technology and inclusion in the production process will expand the vision and voice of media and popular culture.
