Our Recording camp is all about learning the ins and outs for tracking, microphone techniques, patching analog gear, mixing and basic mastering in a studio setting. No experience needed! Students will be getting hands-on experience every day of the camp. During the week students get classes with well known Mixing & Mastering Engineers from NYC and Nashville. Students get the opportunity to visit well known studios in the Nashville area depending on Scheduling.
Last year APC Studios Camp Students got to Record on Luke Combs Single "Back in the Saddle " at Sound Stage Studios on Music Row. We also spent the afternoon at East Iris Studios checking out some live sessions and video shoots in the different studios. Students will work on recording an EP worth of music during the camp! You will get to record professional Nashville studio musicians along with yourself in a comfortable and professional studio environment. Students were also able to make their own XLR Cables if schedule allows.
