In this focused two-hour workshop with an academic and/or ambassadors, students will develop their skills in tracking live and overdubbing in the studio and develop their recording skills. All commercial music staff are active as performers, producers, composers and/or researchers. Students will experience our purpose-built facilities, including professional-grade rehearsal, recording, and/or performance spaces.

For this session students need to have prepared a piece for a small band (4-5 musicians). They will get tips on tracking and recording, and record their music in a professional grade recording studio.

This session can take place simultaneously with a Production workshop if you have students of different disciplines.
