WHO IS IT FOR?

This intense, short course takes place over six days in July, during which time you will work and learn under the guidance of our highly experienced engineers and producers.

If you’re a home-recording hobbyist, a musician or DJ that wants to get more from their recordings, then get in touch. This course is ideal if you want to deepen your skills and knowledge in the art of recording and producing. Unfortunately, due to the prior skills required and the rapid pace of teaching, this course is not suitable for complete beginners.

You’ll work with our engineers who’ll show you how to apply the tricks of the trade and take your recordings to the next level. This course covers both mixing “in the box” and the use of summing stems on the SSL and Neve consoles.
