RECORDING 101

Signal to noise, thresholds, early reflections, dynamic, condenser, DAW, tracks, mixing, mastering, and ProTools. Head spinning yet?

Yes, there is a lot to know to make great recordings. And while you can learn anything online, one key factor is missing. Can you ask the right questions? While you can pay substantial  money and learn from a university, do you want to pay for all the other classes you will have to take? Lastly, do you have time to wait for your buddy, uncle, sister, brother, cousin, etc... to teach you in their basement? At ColoradoRecordingSchool.org, we give you our experience first hand at an affordable price when YOU want to learn.  

Your dreams start here with our Recording 101 course.
