    HOLLYWOOD, CA, August 07, 2010 /Technical PR News/ -- The 2nd Annual Record Industry Poker Tournament was a resounding success, raising much-needed funds for Sound Art LA, the youth-oriented music education foundation. More than 100 of the music industry's top producers, engineers, musicians and audio manufacturers attended the event at The Village Recorders hosted by Grammy Award-winning engineer Dave Reitzas.

Songwriter/composer Jody Whitesides was the last man standing at the end of the Texas Holdem play, picking a Telefunken Elektroakustik C-12 microphone system and runner-up Gary Reitzas chose Bricasti's new M1 Digital-to-Analog Converter.

Other winners selected from a valuable array of product from sponsors including American Music and Sound, Antares Audio Technologies, Apogee, Audio-Technica, Beyer Dynamic, Blue Microphones, Brainworx, Design FX, EastWest Sounds and Studios, FXpansion USA, Focusrite-Novation, Gavin Lurssen, Genelec, Korg, Little Labs, Matthew Lane, Millennia Media, Mojave Audio, Ocean Way Drums, Platinum Samples, Propellorhead, RealTraps, Royer, Shure, Solid State Logic, Sonalksis, SPL, Steinberg, Steven Slate Digital, Summit Audio, Tonehunter, Toontrack, and Universal Audio.

"The generosity of the sponsors, the enthusiasm of the players, and the caliber of the prizes were just amazing!" remarked Reitzas. "My goal of creating a fun day where the people of our industry get to see each other face to face has far exceeded my expectations and I am humbled by the support for this event. Thanks everybody!"

Reitzas created this event one year ago as a way of bringing the recording industry community and manufacturers together, while supporting and raising money for a charity that focuses on kids and music.
