Just about every musician these days has a home studio and although, you may be a killer musician, the art of recording is a completely different thing. Home studio set ups are convenient and inspirational, but they can also be quite daunting. Even the simplest recording rig has several different puzzle pieces and once you get the audio into your computer, things can get even more hectic.
Lessons can provide you with the know-how to make quality sounding recordings and make the process of learning to utilize your gear much smoother.
Each engineer has different goals and needs to develop their recording abilities. To make sure you get the most out of your instruction, each lesson is structured individually to meet your needs. Below is a list of topics that can be covered, but a songwriter will have different needs than a band or aspiring engineer, so this is by no means a concrete list of what we have to cover.
