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. This professional development program is for adults of all ages seeking vocational-style training and experience working on real projects in a commercial recording studio. This apprenticeship-style experience is great for anyone who isn't sure about an investment in a 4-year college track, but wants to gain skills and confidence to work in a commercial studio. OR even those who graduated from college but still need hands-on experience. Students who have taken this course but want to deepen their mastery and gain more studio hours may take multiple sessions. Return students will be given more leadership roles and responsibilities, and will have documented completion of multiple levels, and the opportunity to "test out" to qualify to work independently as an engineer at our studio.
