Advanced Studio Techniques

This course covers a combination of specific techniques used to reach that elusive 'release-quality' often mentioned in recording contracts.

While having a good song, a good performance and a good recording remains the essential recipe for success, there are a lot of other little things that, summed together, can turn something good into something great. Being able to make this difference is what makes certain producers and engineers so in demand, and learning these skills is crucial to your development in music production.
