“If you love music and want to learn recording, this course is the most efficient way to grasp what it takes to be an engineer. We’ve got to keep the standards alive, because great-sounding records come from the skills of engineers, not just their tools.” - Mike Johnson, Clear Track’s founder and head engineer.
You and your team will be able to confidently set up and run a recording session with a professional artist. As a special bonus to the course, you will have two full days to record and mix a band!
“This course was a great experience. Above all, the instructors (Mike and Jim) are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate in all aspects of their craft. Their patience and genuine dedication to teaching the material made learning easy and rewarding… I highly recommend Clear Track.” -Eric Teeman, Age 36
Have a passion for music and the goal of making high-quality recordings? There’s no better way to learn than alongside the pros inside a real studio!
Clear Track Recording Studios offers audio engineer training to help aspiring or advanced engineers learn the skills they need to make professional quality music.
Learning at Clear Track is unique. Training here does not involve crowded classrooms, steep prices, memorizing manuals or burned-out instructors. The program is very cost-effective, hands-on all the way, with very few students at a time, learning from passionate audio engineers/instructors who live and breath the music industry!
Most important is the care that goes into each lesson and making sure each question is answered. The goal is to help passionate audio engineers learn the "hardcore basics" and "tricks of the trade" to advance their skills and get going on a solid track that, with practice and persistence, can build up confidence and lead to success. How immediate that success is depends entirely upon how eager you are to soak up all you can from the training and apply it.
Learning from working professionals in a real studio is THE best way to increase your knowledge and skills as an audio engineer.
