4 weeks producer workshop with Paperclip Studios

– and introduction to recording and studio production

In this workshop, we start with a completed idea for a song and work through the steps of production, recording, and the basic principles for mixing a song. The course runs over 4 weeks, where we delve into the world of the producer, and follow the process of recording a demo.

The course is based on pop and electronic music. During the course we will finish 1–2 recordings, adjust the frequencies and dynamics of the recorded tracks, and prepare the song for the mix. It will be a theoretical introduction to DAW, EQ, compressor and FX, and we will test how it all works in practice.

Our courses are largely tailored to the skills of the participants. The courses are originally in Norwegian but can be adapted to accommodate the English speaking students. To see when the next course will start and to sign up for the course please visit our Norwegian page.

Prerequisites

  • Each participant must bring headphones and their own laptop with software to arrange and produce music, also called Digital Audio Workstation. The focus will be on practical exercise in the techniques along the way. The workshop focuses on the part of the process that comes after creating a song with a melody and will discuss how to record the song. It is, therefore, an advantage if you have made a demo before, as the workshop will not deal with composing.
  • It is an advantage with some knowledge of music software such as Logic Pro, Cubase or Ableton Live, and some experience with music production.
