Members davd_indigo Posted October 18, 2015 Members Share Posted October 18, 2015 I want to learn some fundamentals of sound and audio recordings. I've spent my adult life cultivating my musical skills, but know little to nothing about recording. I expect to buy a Tascam 24 or 32 stand alone recorder soon and would like to make better recordings. I expect that everything I record will be through the air with a mic. No midi, or loops. I've found some online things like Bruce A. Miller, and some free online (Open University?) courses. I've been taking a course (using Arnold Schoenberg's Theory of Harmony) online via Skype. The instructor charges 20 (Great Brittish) Pounds per class (paid via paypal). There are only 3 students and we "meet" ever 2 or 3 weeks. I like this format. And my cousin, a mandolin player, told me there's some famous player (Mike Marshall) who has a video library of lessons and offers feedback on videos students submit. So my question: Is there anything similar to the education outlets I've mentioned anyone here knows about ? Any there any that are recommended over the others ?I understand I could enroll in classes at my local community colleges. But with online learning, it seems one can sort of cut to the chase - without the confines of course syllabus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members davd_indigo Posted October 18, 2015 Author Members Share Posted October 18, 2015 I found something by MPG with weekly online sessions called "Mixing With Mike". Seems to be a subscription fee of $15 per month. And some sort of video library I think. Maybe I'll try that. http://blog.music-production-guide.net/event/mixing-with-mike/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I wonder if Khan Academy offers anything on sound and acoustics? Audio-Technica has a really good series of videos on mic techniques. And of course, you're always welcome to come ask questions over on the Studio Trenches forum here on HC - we're noob friendly and always happy to discuss recording techniques.
