Chinook Learning -- Audio Production and Recording

Kristoffer Benoit from GIANT SPHERES has created a three day workshop on audio production and recording. The course is designed as an introduction for people who have very little to moderate experience in the field of audio . A thorough textbook is included and students can expect to come out of the class with a broad range of knowledge which can be used as a starting point for a career in music production, sound design, sound reinforcement and more.
