The modules also provide detailed commentary on the microphones and preamplifiers used, and on the recording methods. Detailed commentary is also provided on the sound textures achieved, and how they relate to home and project studio recording techniques.
Practical assignment projects
The course also features twelve practical assignment projects which are assessed by Audio Masterclass leading to an Audio Masterclass certificate on successful completion of the course.
Assignments include...
- Vocal microphone selection and positioning
- Acoustic guitar microphone technique in mono
- Acoustic guitar microphone technique in stereo
- Electric guitar microphone technique
- Ambience miking in mono and stereo
- Drum recording (full kit or single drum)
- 'Dirty stereo'
- Preamplifier operation
- MS (mid-side) recording and operation
- Microphone pad and filter
- Extreme microphone technique
- Polar patterns and stereo configurations
We realize that not all students will have sufficient equipment for all of the practical assignment projects. Therefore a certificate will be awarded on the basis of six assignments. Students are of course welcome to complete as many as they wish up to all twelve if they have the required equipment. Also, although the course is orientated towards conventional rock band instrumentation, students are able to modify the assignments to suit instruments they have available.
Requirements
Equipment and software:
- Modern digital audio workstation software such as Pro Tools, Cubase, Logic Pro, Studio One, Digital Performer, Reaper, Ableton Live, or similar.
- Microphone equivalent to or better than the Shure SM57, two microphones preferred
- Audio interface with two or more microphone inputs and phantom power
- Headphone or loudspeaker monitoring
- As some of the assignments involve recording a guitar or drums, access to instruments and performers, who need only be of amateur standard, is required. The course is flexible and the student may substitute instruments that they have available.
IMPORTANT
This course is staged, meaning that each module must be completed before access to the next is available. Modules can be taken at one per week, or at any pace slower than that within the two-year enrollment period.
Please read the above paragraph carefully. We cannot allow any exceptions.
