Music Recording Lessons in Passaic. Amazing Teachers.

Learn recording techniques at my pro studio. Let's work on your personal album. Yes, I'm a record producer.

Students will be able to create their own track at my studio or at their own home, and bring it from an idea to a track on all streaming platforms. We will cover topics such as gain staging, compression, EQing, mixing, mastering, editing, microphone choice and placement, and everything in between.

ound recording and reproduction is an electrical or mechanical inscription and re-creation of sound waves, such as spoken voice, singing, instrumental music, or sound effects. The two main classes of sound recording technology are analog recording and digital recording. Acoustic analog recording is achieved by a small microphone diaphragm that can detect changes in atmospheric pressure (acoustic sound waves) and record them as a graphic representation of the sound waves on a medium such as a phonograph (in which a stylus senses grooves on a record). In magnetic tape recording, the sound waves vibrate the microphone diaphragm and are converted into a varying electric current, which is then converted to a varying magnetic field by an electromagnet, which makes a representation of the sound as magnetized areas on a plastic tape with a magnetic coating on it. Analog sound reproduction is the reverse process, with a bigger loudspeaker diaphragm causing changes to atmospheric pressure to ...

Why don't my recordings sound like that? We have all asked the question. A phenomenally produced record has a certain shimmer to it; an airy, open feeling as if the music just floats effortlessly through the air. The Kick is punchy and thick. The Snare sounds like someone is snapping an oak branch in concert hall. The Vocal seems to just sit in the mix perfectly over the defined yet MASSIVE Bass part.

The first two criteria are out of my hands (I will say that getting a good take will ALWAYS be better than doing a great edit. I will also say that high quality does not always mean high price. That being said, when you get past a certain cost threshold on things like Microphones, Preamps, and A/D Coverters, it will make your mixing significantly easier as you will be dealing with a more 'natural sounding' raw file).

The third component, skill, can ...
