Tthe Yamaha Training Experience once again starts touring Australia from February 2012. In the first of these free recording workshops, discover how to get the most from your own music studio setup or, if you are new to recording technologies, learn many key concepts of recording at home. The team will be on-hand afterwards for any questions and to offer even more hints and tips on how to get the most from your gear. During this informal workshop, topics covered will include:

• Recording using a computer
• Choosing an audio interface
• Recording guitars
• Getting that perfect vocal
• Why use studio monitors?

The workshops feature Steinberg's Cubase 6, the CI series, the UR series and the CMC controllers.
