GUITAR CENTER PROFESSIONAL UNVEILS NEVE’S NEW
GENESYS CONSOLE TO THE NASHVILLE MARKET
WITH EVENT AT OCEAN WAY NASHVILLE RECORDING STUDIOS
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA, September 17, 2008 —
On Thursday, August 21, 2008, the Nashville branch of Guitar Center
Professional (GC Pro), the outside sales division of Guitar Center that
focuses on the needs of professional users, hosted an event at the picturesque
Ocean Way Nashville. The event, presented in conjunction with leading
recording console manufacturer AMS Neve, marked a formal unveiling and
presentation of Neve’s new Genesys console to the Nashville market.
The Nashville event is part of a tour, with similar presentations planned
for Los Angeles and other major markets.
At the event, Nashville’s GC Pro team was joined
by Robin Porter, AMS Neve Head of Analogue Design, who personally designed
the Genesys, as well as GC Pro’s Dan Scalpone, Chicago-based Senior
Account Manager. Attendees included prominent Nashville studio owners
and engineers, students, press and other key members of the industry.
The event gave them the opportunity to sit behind the console and be
hands-on with its actual operation, letting them experience the Genesys’
intricacies themselves.
“We are proud to be the first to debut the Genesys
console to the Nashville market,” stated Nashville-based GC Pro
Account Manager Chad Evans. “This is a paradigm-shifting product,
and Nashville particularly deserves to be on the cutting edge of all
recording technology. The event was a success on all accounts, and we
look forward to being the go-to provider of the Genesys for the Nashville
market.”
