Sound Engineering and Music Production.

The main feature of any recording studio is the mixing desk. During the course you’ll study the audio signal path (capturing sound from the instrument to the console to the DAW) of our studios and the role of the console in a recording studio.

Providing you with a solid foundation in the basics of how sound works, you’ll get to grips with the theory and science behind sound and music, and how it affects the role of an engineer.

Be introduced to Pro Tools, which is the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) found in recording studios all over the world. Throughout the courses there will be lessons dedicated to our dedicated Pro Tools 101, culminating in the Pro Tools 101 exam.

You’ll gain experience recording a range of instruments in our studios using state-of-the-art equipment and huge variation of microphones. From vocals to drums and both acoustic and electric guitar. 

Be introduced to the wide world of music production and mixing. From ‘in the box’ (mixing using only a computer and software), to analogue (using hardware in the studios). Plug-ins to outboard, Pro Tools to the console.

Learn how to successfully work in a professional studio environment and understand how to maintain a recording studio by soldering your own cables.

The basics of EQ and Dynamic controllers, the fundamentals of using them to control your sound and instruments.

Alongside the Pro Tools course and mixing lessons, you’ll learn how to successfully edit the timing of instruments and how to tune vocals perfectly with Melodyne.
