The inaugural 2010 METAlliance event in Hollywood at the historic studios in the Capitol Records tower was a resounding success.

The METAlliance offers a unique opportunity to experience living history while learning invaluable techniques with the legendary master craftsmen who founded the METAlliance. Every attendee will participate in four sessions, each designed to provide different experiences in the recording process and led by the founding members. Space is very limited.
