Students receive an in-depth education in advanced Audio Engineering and Music Production techniques gaining a diverse skill set that translates to hireability in the real world. Students will learn the art of the recording process in the studio from start to finish, and by the end of the course know how to track, edit, mix and master audio independently using studio equipment while working with artists and their songs, as well as the complexities of engineering in a commercial recording studio. We'll cover advanced microphone techniques, outboard gear and hardware effects, tracking and mixing on the console, live studio sessions with a diverse community of artists, music production, business skills and more. Students finish with two days of studio time to independently engineer a project with a musical group of their choice, tracking and mixing a song, while assisting a classmate on their tracking day as well (3 total).
Our teaching style combines classroom lectures and presentations, discussion, demonstrations, holistic instruction, hands-on learning and development and live exercises using real world scenarios. Classes are taught by long standing audio professionals with a legacy of experience working with artists in the studio and beyond. During the course, students will additionally receive two private one on one sessions with an instructor to personally evaluate and guide on their micing and console mixing techniques.
This course is 22 weeks long, with classes held typically held one full day each week (Saturdays) onsite. Our maximum class size is 6 students, and the program is offered in-person on Saturday's from 9:30-5:30p.
