Background |
|
| The course gives students an overview of the techniques and equipment used in the recording of music and speech right up to producing it onto final media, e.g. CD. It is aimed at a range of students as it covers the subject from the point of view of the engineer as well as the musician. The student will learn some theory and then, soon after, have to put that theory into practice. | The course consists of 8
sessions alternating between 2 sessions of theory and 2
sessions of practical work. Working collaboratively, the
group will record a selection of 3 or 4 tunes and songs
of different styles depending on the makeup of the class.
This will be developed as far as producing a CD of their
tunes during the final sessions. The process will challenge students of varying abilities to work together dynamically and will test their skills in the art of listening, experimentation, revision of work and the joy of discovering their hidden talents. The whole experience will allow students the opportunity to develop their music as well as their technical expertise. Skill-mixing and active participation of all students are key components which will engage the students throughout the process. They will also have the final product of the CD as a tangible output of their work. Callan Studios will provide all the recording equipment needed for use by the students. We have portable, modern and user friendly facilities. |
