In this fully online crash course in pro recording techniques, Fett gives you step-by-step instructions on how to produce a truly professional-sounding recording, using a guitar-vocal for illustration. In addition to detailed recording topics, Fett also discusses layering and mixing considerations.
Whether you’ve never made a recording at all or have been recording for years, when you complete this course, you’ll have a completely new, fresh perspective on how professional recording engineers get big-sounding productions from just a guitar and a vocal.
In addition to specific gear recommendations, this course is chock-full of specific techniques for preparation, recording, layering, and mixing that you can use on your own recordings immediately.
And while this course uses a guitar-vocal recording as the example, many of the recording, layering, and mixing techniques presented can be applied to recordings of any instruments and vocals, from piano-vocals to full bands.
The course isn’t taught on specific dates. Instead, it is 100% on-demand and available at any time, from anywhere. It is entirely Internet-based, and all the course videos are also fully downloadable to your own computer or other device. This means that not only can you take the course at your convenience, as many tines as you’d like, but you also have guaranteed lifetime access to the course materials if you download them.
