About this event

Learn the basics of analogue recording by making musical magic with the Tascam Portastudio. Bring along a song and embrace the limitations of analogue technology by recording without screens, click-tracks or software sounds. 

Four-track recording has been used by everyone from Elliott Smith, Matt Demarco, PJ Harvey to Bruce Springsteen. Discover what draws iconic artists to this basic form of recording by following their process and producing your own songs.

Throughout the 5 weeks we’ll learn the basics of 4-track recording, including, recording, reduction and mixing. By the end of the course we’ll have a full mixtape of music ready to share with the world.
