Recording
During my master’s degree I decided to take an elective course learning ProTools, one of the industry standard Digital Audio Workstations (DAW). This turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made in school. My teacher was the prolific composer Pete Calandra, who wrote television and movie scores for the likes of Fox Sports, the History Channel, the Oprah Network, Special Olympics, Sundance Film Festival and more. His classes became so popular that there was a long waiting list and people would come to audit the class on a regular basis. I ended up joining two more semesters to learn more. We covered the basics of MIDI input, film scoring, mixing, music editing, audio mixing, live recording setup, session recording setup and more.
Over the years I have built up my own home studio, complete with audio interface, studio monitors, multiple microphones, cables, synthesizer and more. I have worked with many musicians recording both in studio sessions and live recordings. Recently, two college musicians who I recorded with made it to the finals of a statewide music competition. Another vocalist I recorded with made it into every school she applied to for her master’s degree. Many musicians applying for competitions or school auditions will go the simple route of using a phone, or a cheaper single microphone for their recordings. This unfortunately never catches the true depth and range of tone, either for instrument or voice. If you are looking for quality recordings at reasonable prices, I can help!
