Get into VERA’s Recording Studio through this 3-hour workshop and studio orientation! Learn the studio infrastructure including, bootup, signalflow, patchbay setup, Mixing desk operation, and basic Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) integration. During the session we will experiment with different ways of running signal from the live room to the computer. Some familiarity with Digital Audio Workstations (IE ProTools, Logic, Reaper, Ableton, Ect) is encouraged. After taking this course, students who are new to studio recording should be ready for the Advanced studio class as well as having a better grounding for independent research. 

Pre-requisites: Some familiarity with Digital Audio Workstations (IE ProTools, Logic, Reaper, Ableton, Ect) is encouraged.

Students who complete this class are eligible to volunteer at studio sessions with VERA recording engineers. Recording engineers who are actively involved with the VERA community may be eligible to rent the studio for personal or professional use.
