Sound Engineering Courses London
Our sound engineering courses touch on aspects of sound engineering. For example, our Logic course has microphone techniques, recording vocals, drums, acoustic guitar and most common instruments. Check out our mixing and mastering course to learn how to mix your own tracks from engineers who have their name on millions of records.
When we say processing, we mean how much EQ to apply at source before recording, and also and very importantly how much compression. we always compress to ‘tape’ to get as healthier level as we possibly can so we utilise as many samples per second as we can. For example, if your level is very low, you will only be using a fraction of your 44.1k samples per second so the quality will be poor. If you’re recording at a poor level because you’re controlling the level with a compressor, you may only be using 22k samples per second. One common mistake is that people normalise their audio to get a healthy level. All this will do is make the poor 22k samples per second quality LOUDER. You will not get your quality back. You must try and get as healthy level to ‘tape’ as you possibly can. IN the old days you got a good level to tape to minimise hiss. Nowadays it’s all about utilising your bit rate and sampling frequency.
We will be running sound engineering courses in London here at our warehouse soon. Take a look at our other music production courses to see if there’s anything there that suits. For beginners, we recommend our DAW courses – Logic Pro, Ableton Live and Pro Tools.
