New courses launched
A new range of day courses has been launched by Cambridge Music Technology (CMT). Designed to provide convenient and practical training for home and project studio users, the courses cover topics such as vocal production, electric-guitar recording, drum miking, piano recording, and mixing, with special emphasis on exploring the techniques employed by top-name producers.
Attendees of the courses will, say CMT, be given live demonstrations of equipment and techniques, so that they can compare different studio gear and recording approaches first-hand. In the vocal production course, for example, participants will be able to take part in a shootout of mics costing between £80 and £2000, allowing them to make their own mind up about what yields the best results (and value for money).
Cambridge Music Technology was founded by prolific SOS contributor Mike Senior, author of cover features including Recording Guitars (SOS August 2007), and the Piano Recording piece that you can find in SOS January 2008. The course content is based around in-depth research on popular techniques that are used by professionals for hit records.
The courses, delivered by Mike and his hand-picked team, cost £145 per person, and run from 10am to 4pm, with time for Q&A. They take place on Saturdays in selected locations around Cambridge, a 45-minute train ride from London, making it convenient for those who work or study during the week. For more information, or to enrol on one of CMT’s courses, visit the Cambridge Music Technology web site.
