    STUDIO RECORDING

    CUS30209 Certificate III In Technical Production
    
    The Certificate III in Technical Production is a unique course, delivered entirely from a commercial recording studio. This course focuses on studio based music production skills that will teach you how to make music using the latest music technology and the basic sound engineering skills to make it sound great too.
    
    Music technology has blurred the line between composer and engineer/producer and has created the need for a “hybrid skill set” that will be the staple of the next generation of Australia’s musicians, composers and producers. With hands on training from an experienced producer and engineer and utilizing the resources and equipment of an established commercial recording studio, this course is perfect for those who wish to gain a practical hands on knowledge of studio recording, pro tools and production techniques.
