Potential audio engineers learned in the past by being an intern at a recording studio. That internship was cleaning the studio and not having anything to do with music for a long while. Then slowly, the intern is introduced to the process by other studio engineers. That consisted of sitting in the room and not speaking or touching anything and would go on for months. When you were deemed ready, you could work on non-crucial music. Eventually, if you would last, you worked on more and more songs until you were one of the engineers of that studio.

Our masterclass puts you in an actual recording situation and teaches you how the top people in the industry work without scrubbing the floor; unless you want to clean floors. Come and learn from the very best. Our instructors answer all questions and share their insights and trade secrets that made them highly successful. That knowledge is invaluable. Come find out why our instructors are the industry's finest.

The Cleveland Recording Summit will cost $350.00 per person. The cost will include two days of instruction, coffee, water and pop, doughnuts, lunch, a chance to win several high-value raffle items, and everyone in attendance receives a swag bag. The first day will start with coffee and doughnuts. Instruction will begin at 9:30 on day one. The plan will include microphone choices and placement, dialing in the sound source, and setting recording levels. Also, tracking with or without plugins, why these steps are necessary, gain staging, and recording the sound source. There will be a studio hang after the first day. Enjoy a tour of Starsound Studios and have a conversation with others in the masterclass, along with the talent in a more intimate setting.

The second day will start the same with coffee and doughnuts. We will then recap the first day, discuss overdubs, mix the song, plugins, gain staging, the why behind choices made, and all other details of making the tracks we laid down a hit.
