Build your own Sample Library Workshop: November 8
This hands-on audio production workshop will teach students to record, design, and organize their very own sample libraries! We will capture one-shot samples, including single drum hits, instrumental notes, found sounds, and more. Then we’ll head into our DAW lab where students will learn how to edit, process, categorize, and save their samples for future use in their own music productions. By the end of the session, students will leave with a collection of ready-to-use sounds and the skills to keep expanding their own libraries! This session is only available for students who’ve completed an Intro Session.
This session begins at 10am and ends at 2:30pm.
These workshops are available to anyone over the age of 18 and no experience is necessary! Space is limited to 8 attendees. For more details and to apply, click the APPLY NOW link above.
This workshop is an avocational introduction to specific music production topics and is not intended to prepare learners for employment.
