Demystifying The Recording Process

For high school students or anyone at ECMS who wants to make a recording, this Zoom event will cover what you need to put your best sound forward! Eastman Technology and Media Specialist Michael Sherman will cover:

• The gear you need and and how to set it up for your instrument
• Best recording practices
• Recording with a backing track
• How to edit the media in your recordings
• And how to upload everything to your application website. 

Mr. Sherman will walk you through ways to record using FIVE PROCESSES from a $0 investment up to $1000 investment. We’ll also look at the pros and cons of hiring a professional engineer vs. doing it yourself. You’ll leave this webinar with a clear path on how to tackle the recording process for college auditions or virtual performances, and how to edit audio and video quickly and easily.
