Whilst articles and YouTube videos are a great support for learning how to record piano at home, it can be difficult to discover them in a sensible order. Equally, topics often need to be simplified or abridged to keep them at a reasonable length.
These courses bring everything together in a structured, step-by-step format.
The first course focuses on capturing clear, natural recordings. The second focuses on refining those recordings using simple editing techniques.
Although the examples use piano throughout, the ideas apply equally well to other acoustic instruments. You can discover them at the links below:
