A Day in the Life of Our Students

   Just weeks into the program, guitarist and Recording Connection student Vinay Lobo (Vancouver, BC, Canada) is  having fun with the new skills he’s learning: “Drum Recording Day! Was a great day today. We recorded drum tracks for awesome artist Penan Brae. His music is good old honest Rock n’ roll with punchy guitar rhythms, slinky lines, and solid but interesting backbeats. Edward Whelan was the drummer on this session.   I learned to create an input/output/wiring map, some interesting new techniques on how to mic the drums, which mics work well for the sound we are going for, how to patch these mics into the control room and route them through outboard gear and into Pro Tools. I’ve spent hundreds of hours in studios recording guitars but this was the first time I actually used a patch bay! I’ve always used good engineers while producing records and now I’m learning to be the good engineer which is fantastic. Loving these new skills I’m learning.”
