Performance Audio Expert Tom Carr

"Sounds good" sometimes is a specialized professional opinion.  Tom Carr has been engineering sound professionally for almost 40 years --including for Lucasfilm and other big names.  He waxes rhapsodic about the sound possibilities of his new digs, The Forbes Center for the Performing Arts at JMU. It turns out, the Harrisonburg venue has top-notch acoustics. (For instance: the building's heating and air conditioning system actually doesn't  make sound that competes with performers.)  Tom Carr Audio is based in Staunton.

Note: our web-audio above is a dodgey MP3 file (gasp), and as Tom would be able tell you almost immediately upon hearing,  it   is    in       mono    (shudder).           Sorry.
