Hey friends!
My name's Mike, I'm a 29-year-old musician and music instructor from
the U.K. I've been playing, writing and producing music for the last
13 years. I co-run a music charity called T.I.M.E - Together In
Musical Expression where I run music workshops and classes for people
of all ages and abilities.
I believe EVERYONE has it in them to create beautiful music. It's just
a case of letting go of expectations and having fun with the process
of creating.

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR
DESCRIPTION
Building a home studio can feel confusing, like you need loads of
expensive gear, a perfect room, and a degree in audio engineering
before you’re “allowed” to start. You don’t. In this class, I’ll show
you how to build a simple, affordable home studio setup that actually
works, whether you’re using a Mac, Windows PC, iPad, or even your
phone. We’ll cut through the noise, avoid the pointless purchases, and
focus on what matters: getting you recording and creating with
confidence. This class is designed for complete beginners and anyone
who feels overwhelmed by gear choices, setup steps, or audio jargon.
Everything is explained clearly, with practical recommendations and
real-world tips so you can set up your own studio without the
headaches. In this class you will learn about: Choosing the right
device for music-making (Mac, PC, iPad, phone) What a DAW is, and how
to pick the right one for your style Audio interfaces: what they do,
how to set them up, and what to buy MIDI controllers: what MIDI is and
how to use it creatively Microphones: dynamic vs condenser, and which
suits your room Headphones (open and closed back): what you need, and
why Basic monitor setup for a clearer, more accurate mix Sound
treatment and cheap ways to improve your room fast Budget-friendly
studio setups and upgrade paths By the end of this class, you’ll know
exactly what you need (and what you don’t), and you’ll have a clear
plan to build a home studio that you love, so you can spend less time
overthinking gear and more time making music.
