Second part of a two-part course on recording and production, covering microphone technique, effects, synthesis, MIDI, mixing and mastering for home or DIY studios.
Introduction to Music Recording & Production Part 2 runs at The Stables on Saturday 31 October, from 10:00am to 4:00pm. It's the second half of a two-part course, so it's aimed at people who did Part 1 or who already have some experience with recording and music technology. If you've got a basic handle on the gear and you're looking to move beyond the absolute basics, this is where you pick up the more technical side of things.
The day covers a fair bit of ground. You'll go through microphone technique, effects and processors, synthesis, and MIDI, then move into mixing and mastering. There's also a focus on practical techniques for recording in a home or DIY studio, which is the part that actually matters when you're working on your own rather than in a professional space. The work is done on a Mac using Logic, but the principles apply across other digital audio workstations too, like Ableton, Cubase and Sonar, so it's not just for Logic users.
One thing worth noting is that the afternoon is a recording session, and anyone who plays an instrument is encouraged to bring it along. It's a good chance to put what you've spent the morning learning into practice with your own gear rather than just watching someone else do it. Tea and coffee are provided to keep you going through the day.
