Why is this course better than other introductory sound engineering courses?
As all good sound engineers will tell you the best way to learn is by spending as much time learning in an actual recording studio as possible. Ask any other sound engineering course provider how much tuition is done in the recording studio and they will reluctantly tell you it is a very small percentage of the course. The rest of your time is spent in a class room or practical room. We dedicate the entire course to teaching the art of recording in a professional studio.



Do I receive a certificate on completion?
You will receive a Data Recording Studios certificate for proof of course completion.



Do we get to take home a copy of the topic notes?
A copy of all the notes will be made available to take home and put into practice.
