Record, produce, and mix a quality vocal — mic technique, editing mastery, tuning & mixing vocals and a virtual studio visit with a vocalist at work. Sessions in-person in Nashville and Live Online.
In Nashville, a city built on songwriting and recording, this course is taught by producers who work in its studios. Classes are small and hands-on, and the same sessions are available live online, using our specialist music collaboration software, Muse.
Even though music producers are not expected to be singers too, the more we understand about vocal production and recording, the better the final product! This includes knowing how to motivate, coach, and produce our artists. Singing is not mandatory during these sessions - we understand! Feel free to just listen.
It's not just about recording vocals; it's about crafting an experience that connects with listeners in a meaningful way. Discover qualities that distinguish us, here.
“I came into the program with no idea how to work logic and after the intensive week I walked out programming beats, using loops and samples…I feel like I can take my music to the next level now. Thanks :)”
