This includes the initial preparation stages of equipment setup and pre-production, through the multi-track recording process to mixing. This program provides our students with a combination of lectures and studio experience, and it is in the studio where Recording Workshop students will spend all of their time with an emphasis on hands-on experience! Although recording and mixing music is the main activity, our students will also improve their skills in other important areas of audio engineering such as editing and live sound (mixing front of the house and monitors). No previous experience is required, however, even students with some audio engineering background will find this program challenging and very beneficial.
