Introduction to Recording Techniques

Next course starts on the 26th July 2010.


This is a two day (and a four day) course aimed at  introducing recording studio techniques to the novice. It will include:

  • Microphone placement and Recording Techniques
  • MIDI Fundamentals
  • Introduction to Reason
  • ProTools & Plugins
  • Mixing
  • Mastering

Courses are restricted to a maximum of 5 people. This ensures that each student gets the maximum amount of attention needed.
The cost of the two day course is €200 and includes course material and refreshments.
The four day course costs €350. The four day course covers the same subjects in more detail and includes how to make and sync a video to audio.

Here is what a few people have been saying about the recording course:

"The Orion recording school is an excellent introduction to all aspects of recording. The course comprehensively course covers everything from microphone placement and recording techniques, through to the mastering process. You will learn how to operate Pro Tools during the recording, mixing and mastering stage and also how best to employ plug-ins, compression, reverb etc. during each phase of the process. Kevin’s knowledge of sound and ability to explain the science of sound also proves invaluable for working in any studio environment."

"If a sound dunce like me can end up feeling that I have a little more to offer the session than my well honed coffee-making skills, then that makes Kevin Sheahan a genius"
