“What your sound engineers don’ know about studio recording isn’t worth knowing about.” Tom Smith, STAR Course student, 2009.

We’ve been training people how to become studio sound recording engineers since 1990 and our graduates have gone on to work in the music industry, video production, theatre, events and teaching professions and include the current head of sound at RADA 

The ten day STAR course is suitable for the complete beginner and not only can you learn the skills needed to be a professional sound engineer, but after successfully completing it you can actually become one by hiring our studio at a reduced rate to further hone your skills, record that debut album or demo your favourite local band.
