Audio Engineering School

Audio Engineering School | New York

 

Our Audio Engineering School is for learners who want to master the recording side of Sound Engineering in their home studio setup, and get as close to master-quality results with what studio equipment they have available. The entire Audio Engineering School takes place in one of our partner commercial recording studios. Jam-packed with Audio Engineering tips and recording techniques shared with you by the very same engineers who work in the studio daily on big projects. The last three days are actual sound engineering sessions, with a view to get the master drums down with guides for everything else in session one, the next day, overdubs covering all of the other instruments plus instruments not in the band but in our course, followed by vocals and finishing up on your final day of recording.

Testimonials

As a songwriter/producer I relied heavily on engineers for recording and mixing if I wanted to get my tracks sounding like masters. I always wanted to do more myself but struggled to learn anything watching an engineer zip around at 1000 mph! Then I found Garnish and did their course. It was exactly what I needed, we covered everything I was unsure of in the past from using buses properly, EQ, audio compression and using specialist mastering plugins. Everything was explained and demonstrated in a way I understood. I never thought I'd ever be able get such great sounding tracks doing everything myself.

The course was helpful to me to gain a better understanding of the specifics of how to make my mixes better. Explaining specific concepts about compression, reverb, delays, EQ, etc. that I never really had a good grasp of before.

Cyndi Lee

Even though I already know about mixing and mastering, being here gave me a different (in a good way) concept of the knowledge that I already have. Also I learned a lot of new things about mixing and mastering, that will definitely help in my career as a Music Producer.

The instructors are terrific – They are very attentive to the needs of the students – as well as our individual backgrounds and goals – and that makes the learning more personalized. They are all professionals with diverse expertise and have the industry experience to teach not just the mechanics of the software – but the real-world applications and circumstances. I came to GMP in the hopes of finding teachers who were able to give me a strong exposure not just to the the software (which they did very well) – but also to all the various ways the software is intersecting the other music processes and issues (recording, musicians, writing, industry issues, marketing, etc.). For a detailed software class, GMP offers a very “holistic” experience in which to learn and engage!

At last I have a clear perspective of how mixing and mastering works!
