New York, NY /Music Industry Newswire/ — AVATAR STUDIOS is one of the most prestigious and legendary recording facilities in the world. On Monday evening, October 19, AVATAR STUDIOS will once again make history when it will host its first ever “Ask The Producers” panel featuring Steve Lillywhite, Roy Hendrickson and Kevin Killen. Billed as a Pre-CMJ Meet & Greet, AVATAR will open its doors to indie musicians, giving them a once in a lifetime opportunity to address their questions to this trio of engineer/producers.

Furthermore, all attendees will be automatically entered into a drawing to win 10 free hours of recording time with the winner announced on Friday. Personal tours of the studio will be given by appointment throughout the week until Friday.
