Essential Audio Gear & Recording Fundamentals

In a digital production environment, there are only a handful of things that we, as producers, can touch, hear, and interact with. It makes those things special and that is what this class is all about.

We will explore the basics of speakers, microphones, and gain-staging. We will discuss acoustics and how to get the most out of your gear. Our goal is also to empower beatmakers by de-mystifying their next trip to the music store.

Key Concepts

  • Hardware (mics, interface, amps, speakers, cables, etc.)
  • Signal Flow
  • Audio Engineering Basics
  • Recording Practices
  • External Hardware

Great class! Lots of comparisons and smilies that relate well to the concepts being explained. Getting to see the concepts in-action at the piano was fun!
