Phase 1 consists of the basic fundamentals and is when you’ll get acquainted with our DVLP Method. You’ll learn the basics of sound and then begin to understand what every button does in Pro Tools.
Phase 2 covers advanced fluency of the DAW but also covers everything that is recording. We’ll talk mics and preamps and get used to the workflow of recording.
In Phase 3 you will be fully immersed in being a session-ready engineer, which means you’ll need to learn how to mix. We have a 6 Step process that will get you mixing records in no time and we’ll get our hands on gear.
Phase 4 will be where we learn how to master. We’ll also learn post-production (audio for video) as well as Branding & Marketing so you can build your own business.
Our fifth phase of the Program is our Engineering Proficiency phase. You’ll be tested at everything and shown how to troubleshoot, develop your own personal workflow and get ready for Phase 6.
Phase 6 is your Final Project. Find a band to bring in and record. You’ll need to take at least one song of theirs through all steps of The Method.
