FAQ

Common Questions

Is this for people who want to become engineers?

It's for anyone who wants to understand recording and mixing — whether you're a producer wanting to mix your own music, or someone exploring engineering as a career.

What equipment will I learn on?

You'll work on our professional studio setup — including industry-standard monitors, microphones, preamps, and DAWs. The real gear used in real sessions.

Do I need any prior experience?

No. We start from the fundamentals. Some familiarity with a DAW helps but isn't required.

Will I work on real recordings?

Yes. You'll practise with real multitrack recordings and, when possible, sit in on live sessions to see how it all comes together.
