Recording Classes and Levels: Which One Is Best For Me?

Post by sguiles » Wed Nov 07, 2012 5:34 pm

So, I see a plethora of recording related classes and I really feel that's an area I'd like to improve upon this year, but from the short titles, I don't know if I should head to which class, as many are conflicting.

I use ProTools 10 and go in to my computer direct from an MAudio Project Mix i/o. I have no formal recording training other than being in bands for years and years and going in and out of the studio (a few of which are owned and run by my friends).

So, I know the basics of getting sounds recorded and some basic mixing rules, but I'm wondering which of the recording/mixing classes would be up my alley?

Anyone know any of these classes from previous years and what levels they're at?

Thanks!

Steve

Let me just qualify and say I don't know,lol, but just from sheer speculation I would say the pro tool classes should be great if you haven't really spent the time delving very deeply into it yet, probably get a lot of great tips. Advanced Record Production with Rob Chiarelli and Ron Harris would be a must I should think! Since you already have a home studio and have been in a pro studio, not sure if you might benefit from "recording your demo:Home studio vs pro studio". "producing a broadcast quality master from a simple song idea", seems more of a beginner class on recording perhaps. And just for perspective, the course "It's about the song" with Judy Stalee sounds really interesting and appropriate as well. I would imagine the course on pro tools might depend on if most people were new to pro tools, thinking about it or if everyone was already current and maybe advanced users??

I highly suggest you talk to Ronan Chris Murphy. He is the guru behind Home Recording Bootcamp. He will be here and is a great guy. He is often at his booth. He will be teaching some classes as well.
