Recording Studio Masterclass

Ultimate Hands-on

Learn audio engineering, music recording and production — for experienced music producers and beat-makers.

If you’ve come through our program then you have the knowledge it takes to step into one of our partner facilities. Join a small group of producers in a beautiful recording studio in one of our growing list of cities. Learn the things you can only learn in person. Studio etiquette and procedures, large format consoles, exotic microphones, patchbays, and how to record, mix, and produce with live musicians on a big board.

This course meets in select cities. Please inquire for more information.

Prerequisites: Hardware & Recording and Mixing and Synthesis Tools, or equivalent experience. This is for producers who are ready to work in a professional studio environment.
