Learn about recording & engineering

For 6+ years, Rhapsody has been accepting qualified interns to work hard for free in exchange for access to excellent learning opportunities. We have expanded our scope on the new site to share information with those wishing to know more info about recording at home, or in a fantastic studio like ours. Occasionally, when demand insists, Mack Damon teaches a 10 week class for $495. Click WORKSHOPS to find out more about educational opportunities. There is also a one-on-one opportunity available twice a year for qualified students that costs substantially more.

A majority of clients have home recording gear, from Mboxes and 001s to 8 track minidisc. Our HOME STUDIO section offers tips on how to maximize your gear investment, as well as how to prepare your source material prior to bringing it to a Pro studio (ours). We have worked with artists that will start a project here, do overdubs at home, and bring it back to mix.

Insider View is another breakthrough idea found nowhere else. On a bi-monthly basis, we’ll walk you through a recording project with photos and in-depth notes from the session. What type of mics did we use on the kit, and how did we use them? What does a U87 sound like through a Neve 1073? We share close-up photos of mic technique/selection, a list of processing, and a 320kbs MP3 of the final mix for you to evaluate. You get to see a session from the inside out!

Our CONSTRUCTION page shows how the studios were built and gives a quick primer on studio design and construction. Thinking of building a room? Start here, then give us a call……we can point you in the right direction.

I WANT TO BE FAMOUS. I get this statement/question so many times, I wrote a nice article about it that’s been linked over the net. See MY original article here, and decide if you’re ready to make the cut.
