Northampton Academy At Soundbunker Recording Studio

Understanding recording studio practise and composing music using studio equipment requires a bit more technical knowledge and having an engineer lead you thorouh the steps is valuable.

The pupils from Northampton Academy had an opportunity to discover how to create music from developing a drum sound into a loop. Undersatnding the loop process as a gateway to understanding the sequence which is the platform for where the sound will be housed. The students created their own loops by arranging differrnt sounds on their sequence and listened back to their arrangements. 

The students visited a Recording Studio where they discovered how music is recorded in a professional recording set up. The students all had an opportunity to contribute to the process by recording or developing the arrangement and by using the vocal booth where some had an opportunity to write lyrics for the developed track. Understanding recording studio practise and composing music using studio equipment requires a bit more technical knowledge and having an engineer lead you thorouh the steps is valuable. The young poeple benefited from this valuable experience as it connects the beat making process to the arrangement and recording stage as they all work in unison but are separate experiences with different puropsoes when it comes to making music.
