A word from the Owner, Dale Price...

"Greetings everyone, Dale Price here, audio engineer, and owner of ProSound Audio Services in Chico, California.  I have been mixing live sound since I was 14 in 1980.  I have engineered sound for bands, theatre, tours, music festivals, conferences, meetings, sports events, rallies, fairs, banquets, auctions, weddings, parties and other events.  I have been a drummer in 20 or so bands and received a Bachelor's Degree in Music-Recording Option from Chico State in 1989.  I founded  ProSound  in 1988.
Recording has been my other engineering specialty since the emergence of the 4-track (cassette) recorder in 1984.  As the recording technology advanced and became attainable, or at least accessible, I honed my recording chops engineering mobile recordings of live shows, home recordings, studio recordings, sound for film, and classical recordings.  Along with ProSound,  I  run Electric Canyon Studios recording in Butte Creek Canyon (see home page).
I feel these combine experiences make me a well rounded audio engineer for most situations.  To assure quality engineered sound, I go out and operate the sound system keeping the artist's, audiences, (and promoters) happy and the event running smoothly."        
                                                                                                          Thanks for your interest  -Dale
