Ed Simeone, CEO of TC Electronic USA, recently brought his lecture on the history and application of reverb to the students at the Conservatory of Recording Arts. Simeone, in addition to working for years as a top exec at TC, also has a history of touring as a keyboard tech for such acclaimed acts as Journey, Michael McDonald and many more. Being a top notch “road dog” has given Simeone a unique perspective on the music industry, one that students were especially interested in at the Conservatory.
“Ed sparked a lot of interest with students when he brought up his long and varied background in live sound and recording.” Says Director of Education Kevin Becka. “add that to his vast knowledge of the topic of reverb and his expertise on the System 4000 and System 6000, and you’ve got a lecture that hits home with up-and-coming audio professionals.”
The Conservatory currently teaches the System 6000 and M3000 manufacturer’s certification, along with certifications in Pro Tools, Antares Auto-Tune, SIA Smaart software and more.
