BOSTON, MA, May 18, 2005 — A group of Berklee students received first place honors at the first-ever Shure Fantastic Scholastic Recording Competition, finishing in front of nine other educational institutions. Judging the competition was a panel of top-tier recording engineers, which included David Hewitt (The Rolling Stones), Eddie Kramer (Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin), Joe Barresi (Queens of the Stone Age, Hole), and iconic mastering engineer Bob Ludwig (Led Zeppelin, The Band, Bruce Springsteen).
In the victory, Berklee was awarded a Mic Locker, which includes an entire collection of Shure microphones valued at over $10,000 retail, $3,000 towards a Berklee scholarship fund, and each competing student took home a Shure KSM27/SL microphone. The team of students included Judith de los Santos, Andres Ascanio, Erin McComb, Antonio Resendiz, and Gerardo Larios, with Music Production & Engineering Chair Rob Jaczko acting as the group's advisor. The winning track was "En la Cima," by Berklee songwriter Marco Godoy. All musicians who contributed to the recording were Berklee students.

"It was a good mix, especially considering the complexity of the instrumentation. Creative microphone choices and great documentation...it's good to hear that large scale live band recording is being taught," said Hewitt of Berklee's winning entry. "I would like to thank Shure for instituting this program in the schools."
The competition required the recording of a live ensemble without the use of sequencing, samplers, or line level sources, with a predetermined set of Shure microphones. It is open to teams of students enrolled at a college, university, or institution pursuing a four-year degree program in audio recording/production.
Students who performed on the winning recording were Marco Godoy (vocals, piano, guitar); Natalie Ferndandez (vocals); Eric Doob (drums); Demian Arriaga (timbales); Carlos Alverez (congas/bongos); Ignacio Long (bass); Francisco Cruz (tenor sax); Igmar Thomas (trumpet); Alex Gordeev (alto sax); and Hector Aponte (trombone).
