Sound Recording Techniques
Learn the principles of recording & the process in multi-tracking!
Workshop Details:
Date: Postponed
Location: Video Pool Media Arts Centre Studio
Fees: $60 member / $80 non-member
Limit: 10 participants
Instructor: Janell Henry
Video Pool Media Arts Centre has a great studio for recording with a big room, isolation booth and mixing room. Using this venue, Janell will talk about the principles of recording and the process in multi-track recording.
In the three hours in the studio, participants will have a hands-on approach to recording by tracking a few instrumental tracks for a new composition by Ojibwe musician, Chuck Copenace, that will be released later in the fall. Workshop participants will route, record and experiment with acoustics and psycho-acoustics through microphone choice and placement. Janell will discuss recording principles while setting up the studio. After tracking, we will explore the pro-tools plug-ins available, such as EQ, compression, delay and how they affect the audio signal in post-production.
No previous experience in multi-track recording is required. Participants are encouraged to ask questions regarding their own recording projects.
