Audio Training
Hardware, Software and Studio Training for Audio Professionals
Bespoke Training for Audio Professionals
With over 10 years experience teaching studiocraft in Higher Education we fully believe that studio training needs to be built around basic fundamentals that can be applied into any scenario, be that hardware or software. For many, the confusion of learning about complex processes on very specific equipment you may not ever use outside of that instruction makes it important to focus your learning around your own setups and systems. We specialise in analogue mixing setups and outboard hardware that give users a unique hands-on experience and finished product. From 4 channel mini mixer setups right through to 96 channel Inline consoles, we can assist with purchasing, install, optimising and training on these setups.
Using your own setups we can cover with both theoretical and practical sessions tailored specifically to you:
Studio connections and signal flow
- Inputs & Outputs – which audio connections do you have in your studio?
- How to connect your equipment properly
- Patchbay – what does it do and do you need one?
- Connecting MIDI hardware and integrating with the DAW
Mixing Consoles
- Channel Strip – Gain, EQ, Insert & Aux Sends, Faders
- Groups and Master Section
- Input/Output connections
- Interfacing with other hardware and a DAW
Monitoring

We offer Post Graduate Studio Training to students who have recently completed a music production or sound engineering degree and are looking to refine their skills in a hands-on studio environment and we have a Pro Tools Certified Trainer who can guide you through from the basics to advanced use of the software.
