Grad Student Yuri Engineers first Recording Session

Yuri was recently in Alchemy Studios recording Sergio Bowers, a Calgary Rapper. Yuri handled the whole session himself and even composed the custom music track for Sergio!
Yuri worked the session on his own, setting the mic tone, making the beat, recording and producing vocal parts, mixing and mastering - go Yuri!

Last week at The Alberta Academy of Recording - Foley, and Commercial Recording

Last week the students were assigned a Commercial Recording Project, in which they had to write, voice and provide all the sound design for an original product of their choice. 


Dave & Braeden decided upon a store of their creation - 'Rasta Bob's Emporium', they provided all of the sound effects, voices, and well as the composition heard in the add - this proved to be a very entertaining, but productive project - Great job guys!

**Please note that in no way does The Alberta Academy of Recording condone, or allow the use of paraphernalia on the premises under any circumstances - this is a water bottle and pen 













                                   Here are the guys during the mixing phase of their project


Clayton & Konrad decided on a posh port - a - potty product, 'Port Eau Toilet'
They provided the script, voices, and all sound effects heard on the add. They chose to use music from our custom music library, as well as a track you may recognize!

                                Here are the guys brainstorming their add & writing their script

This is how the 'shaking sounds' were made

All in all a very productive and entertaining week. Well done guys on some great advertisements!
