Avocet offers audio engineering training and recording skills workshops.
• Got a home recording setup?
Songwriting
and music production have become more competitive than ever. It’s no
longer enough to make rough sounding demos or cd’s. The listening
public has become accustomed to better recordings - even if they’re
deliberately made to sound like spontaneous “home “ recordings.
You
should know this too: publishers and record labels judge you on the
first thing they hear. And if you don’t sound as good as the artists
you hear on the radio, people probably won’t buy your music.
Ever
wish you could sharpen your recording skills? Ever wish you could learn
audio engineering-the way pros do it? Got any questions-like:
• Recording vocals- how to get pro results
• How much do I need to spend on a vocal microphone?
• How do inexpensive mics rate?
• How do I get a good acoustic guitar sound?
• How do I get a good electric guitar sound?
• How do I get a good drum sound?
• What IS a sample rate anyway ?- 44 vs 48 khz
• Do I need a compressor? Which one?
• Want to learn more about mic technique? mic preamps? mixing? studio
acoustics?
• What does MIDI do? What does it not do?
• Need unbiased advice about buying gear? mics?
• What's the diff between analog & digital?
• What interface should I choose?
• What's the best way to connect it all?
• Got a buzz or hum?
• Mastering- what it can do and what it can’t
• Using Pro Tools, Reason and Digital Performer
How you can:
•Make
music with loops and samples in combination with real instruments and
vocals; prepare effective song or instrumental demos for publishers and
film/TV producers; create hip-hop and rap beats and tracks
•Create your own website where you can promote and sell your music
•Learn techniques that could dramatically improve the sound of your recordings and increase your productivity.
•Learn what not to do in order to create good sounding tracks
Audio engineering is a complex combination of art and science. It
requires hands on experience with an understanding of acoustic
principles, proper systems design; effective recording, editing and
mixing techniques; people skills, patience, and good ears. One on one
instruction is the best way to gain practical, useful knowledge in the
field.
• Individual
/ one on one instruction and consultation is charged at an affordable
hourly rate. These sessions are a chance to ask any questions and study
equipment and techniques in a one on one environment
Areas of coverage in advanced sessions include:
Music
production and recording skills, analog mxing consoles and signal
routing, Mixing and Mastering with Pro Tools, Reason, Digital
Performer, acoustics and design, mic technique, patch bays, control
room acoustics considerations, MIDI sequencing, samples and sampling,
music theory, film scoring, sound design, composition, ear training,
analog outboard gear and more.
If your goal is to make music - learn some skills that could make it easier,
better and more fun by attending a workshop:
• Workshops are limited in size. Cost: $40 per attendee.
