FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Santa Ana, CA - Two-time Grammy Award-Winner, Warren Riker, is giving a two-day master class at Granted Records studios in Santa Ana, California. The class is set for June 30th, 2018, and will be an event like no other. Participants in the course will experience hands-on instruction for recording, engineering, and mixing by one of the greatest in the music industry. Mr. Riker is known for working on many different genres of music, such as Grammy albums-of-the-year Santana’s Supernatural (1999), and the Miseducation of Lauren Hill (1998 / first for any hip-hop artist).
Granted Records CEO, Emo Alaeddin, states, “Even though the business model of the music industry has changed so much over the last decade, it is still about the music. Moreover, making a professionally sounding song or album from home is now more possible than ever before. And having someone like Warren Riker teach you the ins and outs of recording and mixing is priceless. We are very thankful for him agreeing to do this.”
“I have been engineering, mixing, and producing music since I was 15 years old, and I would like to pass on my experience and knowledge to those that will most benefit from it: unsigned and independent artists working at honing their craft at home.”, says Riker. “The tools available for the home studio today is just as good as what I worked on in world-class recording studios. That said, I aim to teach participants how to achieve that polished studio sound, but from home.”
The masterclass will be a two-day event, focusing on engineering on Day 1, and mixing on day 2. Day 1 will center on practical experiences, such as what mics to use and how to set them up, while Day 2 will focus on mixing multiple recorded elements into one cohesive product. This course will be an intimate and interactive class like no other with one of the greats of the music industry.
The course is open to all proficiency levels and all musical genres but has limited seating. The special early bird rate of $350 for the full workshop and $250 for each of the two days expires June 16.
