This class is for anyone who has wanted to work in a recording studio. Especially:
- Producers: If you are making tracks and want to get into a studio to record, this class is for you.
- Aspiring Producers: If you are just getting started with music production, but dream of getting into a studio, this class is for you.
- Musicians: If you are going to be recorded, you should understand how things work so you can help control the results of the recording.

In this class, we start with how to book time in a studio, and what to expect. Then we move on to running a whole session – how to connect everything, use the equipment, and more. I’ll walk you through every step of the process and explain the logic behind every decision I make.
100% Answer Rate! Every single question posted to this class is answered within 24 hours by the instructor.
The goal of this class is for you to be comfortable in the studio the next time (or first time!) you find yourself in the studio.
