Introduction to Music Production & Sound Engineering
Description:
Only £330. Maximum of 5 people per class.
• A comprehensive and concise foundation course on sound recording music technology.
• Structured so that by the end students have completed an original recording project. This is a group composition irrespective of musical knowledge and with pleasantly surprising results.
• The workshops are informal and involve interacting with others and the tutor as well as practising on the equipment available. Seminars are given on all necessary theory and all relevant information packs are provided for students to keep. Additionally each person records their mix for each session onto a cassette provided by the workshop.
• Students are asked to bring tapes/records/CDs of pre-recorded music for the class to analyse.
• At the end of the course participants are able to analyse productions on most recordings, they are familiar with studio equipment and have acquired skills and techniques in their use for recording and production.
• Text books are available at a reduced price.
