LOS ANGELES, CA – “At Pinnacle College we teach the students how things work, not how to work things,” says Francis Buckley, development manager for Pinnacle College and Chairman of the Program Advisory Committee for Audio Engineering. “We love the SSL AWS 900+ SE because it is a full-on old school analogue console combined with the modern version of the digital audio workstation control surface. It gives us great flexibility because we can use multiple DAW software packages and the AWS controls them all.”

The coursework puts great emphasis on practical, hands-on training anchored on a comprehensive background of theory of sound and music.
