  Higher National Diploma - HND Sound Production

  This was a largely practical-based course where I gained a great deal of experience working in professional recording studios with industry standard equipment and software. The main studio consisted of: A live room with separate isolated booths. Access to a wide variety of microphones. SSL Mixing desk and patch bay in control room with analogue FX Rack. Mac running Pro Tools. I gained a great deal of experience with different musical production techniques.I… Show more This was a largely practical-based course where I gained a great deal of experience working in professional recording studios with industry standard equipment and software.

Mac running Pro Tools. I gained a great deal of experience with different musical production techniques.I had the chance to setup multiple live performances for musicians using a stagebox and live mixing desk. This involved a great deal of planning and problem solving depending on the situation and which instruments were being used. Show less
