This course, unlike others, is not all theory. The course is about listening to our audio examples, learning what makes a good recording, understanding how things can go wrong, then making your own recordings and having the option of getting them listened to.

You get to hear work done to a professional studio standard, and also some less-than-perfect recordings so that we can show you how things can easily go wrong, and explain how to avoid these problems.
