Gateway is a certified Logic training location, so it was naturally one of the few locations in the UK chosen by Apple to launch Logic 8 Studio. The event was a great success and we look forward to more of these exclusive launches in the future.
Digital Village hosted a launch expo event in November for the new facility at our premises in Clapham. Master classes were given by our tutors and special guest producer Tony Platt also ran a session in studio 1.
Digidesign, Apple and Propellorheads were amongst the exhibitors who also gave very engaging demonstrations. The event was very popular and well received by the 200 people who attended.
Digital Village and Gateway will be hosting a much larger expo event on 28/29th February at the Gateway School in Clapham. There will be many exhibitors, new products on display and free guest lectures and seminars. Please register online via the DV website if you wish to come. We look forward to meeting you there.
The loudest sound level (called the threshold of pain) that can be tolerated by a human ear is 134dB SPL. This is approximately 5,000,000 times louder (representing an energy in the sound wave 25,000,000,000,000 times greater) than the quietest audible sound (called the threshold of hearing) which is 0dB SPL.
