High School Studio Recording Camp
Studio Recording Camp: Going Beyond the Basics
Dates:
- June 3, 4 & 5
Time:
- 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Are you passionate about music production? This isn’t a lecture – it’s a live session! Join us for three days of hands-on experience as we record a band in a professional studio environment. Learn the full recording process – from setting up microphones and getting sounds to tracking a live band and tearing down the session. Work alongside our engineers and walk away with real-world studio experience.
What You Will Do
This camp is designed to give you a start-to-finish understanding of a recording session including:
- Studio Setup: Learn best practices for microphone selection, placement, and studio preparation.
- Signal Flow: Practice patching, gain staging, and dialing in sounds from the live room to the control room.
- Live Band Tracking: Actively participate in recording a real band under the guidance of our engineers.
- Session Teardown: Safely and efficiently break down the studio after the session.
- Engineer Debrief: Conclude with a detailed Q&A and breakdown with our engineers.

“My instructor’s been pretty awesome, his name’s Nate. He taught me to use Ableton. He’s super knowledgeable and I’ve enjoyed the process of how we’ve been doing it so far.”

After attending a High School Session my senior year, I realized that I wanted to try a career in the music industry. Following college graduation, I am continuing my job in music prep and some other music projects that are projecting to lead to a record deal. I never would’ve pursued this path if it wasn’t for you guys starting me off. I just wanted to reach out and say hello and to say that your program is a really great one. I hope more people get as much out of it as I did, even if it’s just a Saturday session.
