What Does the Program Offer?

Engineers from around the world participate in this program to benefit from mentorship by staff engineers and technologists, and classes with audio staff and internationally-renowned guest faculty.

As part of the practicum, participants will learn from staff or faculty producers and engineers as they engage in post-production projects. This will include projects initiated by all artistic programs at Banff Centre, music recording projects, and commercial post-production projects, including those from the marketing and communications and leadership programming departments.

Participants will also interact with other international audio engineers and artists in other disciplines, and have full access to professionally-equipped studio spaces.
