Our Curriculum:

The Recording Club at The Studio Portland offers students practical experience recording and mixing in an acoustically tuned environment that allows for accurate production techniques. At the end of our programs, students will receive a certificate of proficiency from The Recording Club, demonstrating their experience with:

The Fundamentals of Audio
Ear Training
Studio Etiquette
Artist/Client Relations
API Recording Console Operation
Recording and Mixing a Band
Signal Flow and Management of an Analog Patch-bay

How is This Different from Other Courses Available?

This is not a laptop course. We are hands-on, pushing faders and preparing to record artists from the moment our students walk through the door. Students who complete our courses will have experience in pre-production, recording set-up, tracking, mixing, and basic mastering. We will be offering a progression of courses that take motivated students from introductory level all the way to proficiency in the professional environment.

"If you can't hear it, you can't fix it"

Our programs center around one of the most key aspects of production excellence: ear training. Training your ear and learning about the dynamics of sound is what builds mastery of your craft. There is no better or faster way to develop your ear than by working with Artists in an acoustically tuned room, like The Studio Portland.
