The Producer's Club at June Audio Recording Studios

Most songs arent just drums and vocals, so what about the other stuff?  In this course we will get into standard and not-so-standard ways to record bass, guitars and keyboards.

Week one will be all about that bass.  Is DI the best way to record bass guitar?  Does the type of DI matter?   What about compression?   Do I need a bass amp?   What mic would sound best for that?   Do I need to worry about phase?  What is the best way to record an upright bass?  Synth bass through a bass amp?

Week two we will get into the glorious land of guitars.   Acoustic, electric, amps, di, pedals, to room mic or not to room mic, what if someone wants to play acoustic guitar and sing at the same time?   There is a lot to cover with guitars and at June Audio we are well equipped to cover it.   You will get to hear many different options and learn why and when to use the many options available.

Week 3 will cover keyboards.   There are so many different types of keyboard instruments beyond synthesizers.   If you want to learn more about synths we have a great course on that taught by Nate Pyfer.   In this course we will listen and learn about the many ways to treat and mic a piano - upright, grand and spinet.   We will also work with Wurlitzer and  Rhodes electric pianos and the many ways to record those.   Micing a celeste, pump organ, and Hammond B3 with a Leslie speaker will round out this week.

Week 4 will be student directed and allow time to answer questions, deep dive or test any ideas that came up in weeks 1-3.
