Intro to Mastering Workshop

Founded in 2003, Women's Audio Mission is an award-winning nonprofit dedicated to closing the gender gap in music production, the recording arts, and technology. In a field where women and gender-expansive individuals are chronically under-represented (less than 5%), WAM is changing the face of sound through providing training, mentoring, recording studio access, and learning and job placement for more than 20,000 girls, women, and gender-expansive people.By purchasing a ticket for this event, I grant Women's Audio Mission and its staff, volunteers, professional photographers and the media the absolute right and permission to take during the event, and to use and publish, photographs of me, still or moving, with or without my name, and to reproduce same through any media, for artistic, promotional, advertising, web content or other commercial and non-commercial purposes, and I shall not be entitled to any monetary compensation of any kind in respect thereof.
