"ONE ON ONE" AND SMALL CLASS INSTRUCTION

 

YOUR PRIVATE "CLASSROOM"
Cue's multi Gold & Platinum winning Studio "A"

 


►Cue Studios' Center for Audio Engineering has been teaching specialized audio engineering programs for over ten years.  Our six studio facility has been recording & mixing award winning tracks for over 25 years.   Let us put our years of recording knowledge and platinum credentials to work for you!


Cue's programs are sensational!  Professional and dedicated "one on one" or small class instruction, you choose, are taught by highly experienced recording engineers.  We are committed to teaching intensive "hands on" training along with the essential audio theory you need to be confident and competent in any recording studio or audio facility environment. 

Our motto?  Hands on, hands on, hands on!

During the programs, you will work with staff engineer/instructors including Ken Schubert, our chief instructor with numerous platinum credits and Billboard hits.  Our "one on one" teaching process, custom tailored to your specific studio recording interests, occurs with just you and the instructor/engineer.  Our "small class" programs are also very focused with much individual attention during each program.

Learning in a pro recording studio gives you the opportunity to engage in real life studio sessions, meet and talk with major artists, producers, and industry executives. You'll also experience real-life studio operations during interaction with Cue Recording Studio's many clients, staff of seasoned engineers, managers, and music producers.

►Our "100 hour" "one on one" program also gives you a new Digidesign Mbox 2 with Pro Tools 8.0 software!

Immediately begin practicing what you've learned after you install this free Mbox with included Pro Tools 8.0 software on your Mac or PC computer at home.  This recording equipment is fundamental to learning and practicing while refining your new skills.

The "100 hour" " program provides (80) hours of intensive instruction, (15) hours of Learning Lab time, and (5) hours of  "mixdown" time.  During these program hours you'll learn microphone types and placement, audio signal flow and processing, proper recording techniques, patchbay usage, digital workstation operations, automated mixing, and various tricks of the trade to achieve those special sounds like the pros do. 

Included is the industry standard "Recording Studio Handbook" and a Pro Tools 8.0 Official Courseware manual which covers sound physics and advanced studio engineering application and theory.  From creative mixing techniques to studio psychology between recording engineers and their artist/clients, you will learn everything needed to start your new career!  Additionally, students are automatically entitled to participate in Cue's special studio internships where your education is enhanced through the application of your new skills. 

Record and mix a real band with drums, guitar, bass and vocals. Build the confidence and competence needed to become a successful recording engineer through this experiential training program.  It's a challenging industry, and we're committed to preparing you for success!'

As the Founder and President of Cue, you have my word on it!

Our Audio Engineering Programs

  • The Cue Recording engineering program has revolutionized the way recording programs have been taught for the past 30 years. You will learn more quickly, implement your training immediately, with increased confidence, and at the same time enjoy substantial savings from the typical expensive tuition fees of many traditional, academic institutions. 
  • Use real world studio engineering you can apply, not just book theory. Learn microphone placement, brands and types, microphone preamp usage, equalizers, tube compressors, digital reverbs and effects processors.  Edit, pan, automate fader moves, and much more in the Pro Tools domain. Record live musicians and electronic instruments, then perform several "mixdowns" of your final recording.
     
  • Enroll in any of our programs and learn professional techniques and tricks during a focused audio engineering curriculum.  Our chief instructor, Ken Schubert, has recorded a Billboard #1 Hit, (10) Gold & Platinum awards, and has over 20 years experience! These are the types of credentials you seldom find but should expect from a world class instructor.
     
  • Learn at your own pace, with your own questions, during your private "one on one" education.
     
  • Program times are generally flexible during the day, night or weekends.
     
  • Receive a recording studio program Certificate of Completion after your final "mix".
     

  • Participate in Cue Recording Studio's intern program with automatic acceptance guaranteed. Observe studio management tactics, client/staff interaction, and other essential studio survival skills.
     

  • Learn the basics of Mastering.  Participate in "mastering" a final mix in Cue's mastering studio and experience this process first hand with staff mastering engineer Keith Burrell. (Offered with 30 hour - 100 programs.)
     

  • Receive the industry standard recording engineering textbook / handbook "Modern Recording Techniques, 7th edition" and a Pro Tools 8.0 Official Courseware training manual with all our audio engineering programs.
     

  • Get the real deal on what a world class studio owner looks for in a new recording engineer during several meetings with Cue's founder and CEO, Jeff Jeffrey.
     

  • Why risk your education in an over crowded classroom with students on different learning levels, and paying course fees up to $80,000.00?  The smart way is to learn at your own level and pace. This "one on one" technique is more efficient and more financially advantageous for the serious student.  Our small
    multi-student classes (usually 3 - 6 students) are also very conducive to accelerated learning with much individual attention.
