A new range of day courses, founded by Sound On Sound contributor Mike Senior, has been launched by Cambridge Music Technology.
Mike is the author of SOS cover features including Recording Guitars , and the Piano Recording piece in Sound On Sound’s January 2008 issue. He will give live demonstrations of audio equipment and techniques so that atendees can compare different studio gear and recording approaches first-hand.
The courses cover topics such as vocal production, electric guitar recording, drum miking, piano recording, and mixing, with special emphasis on exploring the techniques employed by top-name producers.
Vocal
In the vocal production course, for example, participants will be able to take part in a shootout of mics costing between £80 and £2000, allowing them to make their own mind up about what yields the best results and value for money.
Mike has also recently appeared as a guest lecturer at London’s School of Audio Engineering (SAE), where he gave a talk to students about mixing on a budget.
Put your money where his mouth is!
The courses, delivered by Mike and his hand-picked team, cost £145
per person, and run from 10am to 4pm, with time for Q&A. They take
