Your lab for capturing real performances

An incubator is your lab — where you put what you learn in class to work on real material, with feedback from rotating instructors and your peers. But it’s also a forcing function: you can’t mix what you never recorded. So bring the song you started, and the goal is momentum — leave with recordings solid enough to push into the Mix Incubator.

It’s context-based instruction: a variety of instructors week to week, with one or two of you presenting your work. Come whether or not you’re presenting — the problems we solve are universally useful and your feedback is valuable.
