The Producer's Club at June Audio Recording Studios

Recording drums is one of our specialties and a favorite thing that we do here at June Audio.  This course will teach you how to capture the many sounds available from acoustic drums.  

Week one will kick things off with an introduction to acoustics and the different microphone types, as well as the basics of drum prep, treatment and an understanding of how different spaces play a part in recorded drum sounds.

Week two and three will feature a live drummer playing multiple drum sets in multiple locations as well as variations in mic techniques.   Students will learn how to capture that sound by utilizing the many microphone, mic pre, EQ, and processing options available in the studio.  We will also get into how to balance, adjust, fix, polish or mangle drums to fit a particular song.

Week four will cover editing, fixing, timing, and sampling options used by today’s top engineers, as well mixing drum sounds, including those recorded by someone else.
