Conference Paper

Seeking Best Practice for Education and Training in the Recording Studio

Authors: Vandemast-bell, Paul; Werner, Duncan; Crossley, John

AES Conference: UK 26th Conference: Audio Education · Paper 21 · August 2015

Abstract

This paper reflects on the delivery of a module in recording studio practice. The module is intended to equip level 5 students with the necessary skills to undertake final year project work whilst introducing aspiring recording artists and music producers to a career in industry. These goals are compounded by the expectations of accreditation bodies that work in partnership with academic institutions to raise the standard of graduates entering into the business of music recording and production. Drawing on the authors’ educative experiences and observations the paper highlights the challenges posed by the tension between training and education, and investigates the potential for novel approaches to curriculum design.
