CRAS students had a great lesson with muti-Grammy winning Engineer/Producer, CRAS GRAD using the platform!!!

This all-in-one platform provides studio-quality, high-definition audio streaming, HD video, drag-and-drop file transfers, and deep DAW integration through a universal plugin suite.

Darrell was able to remote into Gilbert Studio A using Sessionwire and provide a Mix Clinic where students gained insight into his mixing techniques.

Darrell's career has led him to work on projects with Eminem, the Foo Fighters, Beck, and Chris Stapleton, just to name a few.

Thanks for taking the time with our future audio engineers!!!
