About Studio Recording – Short Course, Summer School - at Catalyst - Institute for Creative Arts and Technology

This 4-week short course is the perfect starting place for budding sound engineers eager to learn the practical fundamentals of recording. Discover the art of recording bands, soloists or electronic artists in a professional vintage recording studio environment. As a progressive education institute one of our core beliefs is that you need to spend lots of time with your own hands firmly on the gear. We call it learning by doing... and doing... and doing again.

You may be a total beginner wanting to start from scratch or an aspiring sound engineer, early in your journey of understanding your craft and wanting to build knowledge and confidence.

Discover, define and refine your understanding of the core tools, skills and techniques needed to kick start your life as a sound engineer.

From understanding the basic principles of sound engineering to getting to grips with the pre-production and planning of a recording session. From working with microphones and mixing desks to applying core audio production techniques and software operations. You will come out of the four weeks with a broad foundational understanding of studio recording – and, most importantly, the fuel to forward your creative journey.
