Recording your music is an exciting part of bringing your creative vision to life.
In this practical masterclass, we’ll explore the pros and cons of recording at home versus in a studio, and introduce hybrid recording as a flexible and affordable approach. Learn about the tools you need to confidently record at home and how to strategically involve professional engineers and producers at key stages to create a recording that fits your style, budget, and goals.
