Take advantage of this cost & time effective approach to exploring your interests in audio engineering. Learn, in a working studio environment, basics on how to record and produce radio-ready songs. This is an opportunity for you to discover and test your ear for music production and if you already have a musical background, this is your chance to take it to a new level.
Our objective is to introduce aspiring studio engineers to the realities and challenges of a working recording studio environment, at the same time teaching them the fundamentals of producing professional quality audio.
