a closer look at Audio Recording Techniques
We've recently revamped our Audio Recording Techniques class, making it more hands-on and detailed than ever!
This past weekend, TRAC students learned all about the fundamentals of recording audio...they talked about sound waves, microphones, amplifiers, Pro Tools and more. If it can be found in a recording studio, these folks learned about it! They were also invited to bring in their own gear for demos or troubleshooting.
After Labor Day, the group will meet again and this time they will spend their days in the state-of-the-art studios of Studio West! They'll track a local singer/songwriter in Studio C and then step into Studio A to record drums, guitars and vocals for an up-and-coming local band.

The ultimate pledge of love....
It's so rewarding to watch a student move through each level of Pro Tools training, learning new skills, honing their craft. But when, after countless hours of study and finger-cramping shortcut practice, one of those students makes a bid for Expert Cerification, well...it's downright exciting.
The Expert Exam at TRAC is a day-long, one-on-one intensive and practical demonstration of Pro Tools skills. In many ways, it is a rite of passage. But those who manage to pass it are deemed worthy of Expert Certification and wear their status proudly.
Some more so than others.
Congratulations, Mr. C. Your dedication paid off and your devotion is unquestionable.
