About the lessons and recordings

Lessons with Harry will range from the absolute basics of recording, in its most accessible form, to more advanced recording, mixing and mastering techniques. This all depends on the level of the student and will be tailored for each individual.

A lesson with Harry can involve any of the below, and much more.

  • The basics of recording with Harry includes learning about:

    • Different types of microphones

    • How sound works

    • Compression

    • EQ

    • How to work a recording interface such as Garage Band or Ableton

    • How to record and edit drums, guitar, vocals, keys, synth, bass guitar, and any other instrument you can think of

  • Harry can help you record your own song or album:

    • If you already have songs written and ready to record, you can record them each week with Harry by your side, and soon enough, you have an album of originals as well as the knowledge and skills to record anything on your own.

  • Make film clips:

    • Once you’ve recorded your songs, work with Harry to put a video to it

    • Learn how to use iMovie
