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"
