Bob Heiber and Brian San Marco from Chace Productions recently came to the Conservatory to talk audio with students and to give them a special offer. CRAS grads can qualify to intern with Chace, considered worldwide to be at the top end of audio restoration and mastering for film. “The pro audio industry remains highly competitive and it is critical for our students to graduate armed with experience in a working facility,” states Kevin Becka, the Director of Education at the Conservatory’s Gilbert location. “We are pleased to partner with a preeminent facility like Chace Audio to offer a step-by-step opportunity to learn how the restoration and preservation of film soundtracks is achieved.”
For over 21 years, Chace has been restoring audio for films such as “Citizen Kane”, “The Great Escape” and “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Industry vet and President of Chace Productions, Bob Heiber played before-and-after examples of what they do best, make audio soundtracks sound like new again. After a technical presentation on their facility, Heiber and San Marco fielded questions from students interested in the process of audio restoration and a career in the film industry.
The Conservatory has relationships with scores of professional audio facilities all over the United States, giving students the best experience that internships offer. The school is the only audio recording school that has a mandatory internship as a requirement of graduation.
