This session is aimed at teaching the skills needed to set up microphones and record guitars, drums and other instruments, as well as an introduction to using the mixing software Reaper. This is run by Steve Burton, the Vanbrugh Rock Tutor. Please note, you do need to be a member of the University of York and signed up to the College Music Scheme to participate.
After participating in a practical session (or a few), if you are confident and know what you are doing then you can do a sign-off session, after which you can hire the Recording Studio alongside your Garage practice sessions.
