Sweetwater Studios has announced that it will be hosting a special recording master class with Anthrax. The exclusive two-day class — the ultimate multi-day learning experience for metal fans who want to learn the art of studio recording — will be held on September 17 and 18 and is open to registered attendees on a first come, first serve basis.
The class will be held in Sweetwater Studios’ Studio A (Fort Wayne, Indiana), where attendees will spend the two days learning the recording process from start to finish, from positioning mics and dialing in sounds, to tracking, mixing, and post-production. The sessions are being overseen by Sweetwater Studios senior producer/engineer and VP of Music Production Mark Hornsby, and will be filmed by acclaimed music video director Nigel Dick.
“With each of our Recording Master Classes, we’re creating an opportunity for fans to learn essential recording skills by working alongside their heroes,” said Hornsby. “Anthrax is one of the veteran bands of the Big Four and having them here allows us to explore the unique techniques required for capturing aggressive guitar driven music properly in a studio environment. On top of it, they’re truly great guys who are happy to share what they’ve learned with their fans, which is something you don’t find every day with an artist of this magnitude.”
Registration is $1695 per person and includes two full days of learning sessions in Sweetwater Studios, including lunches; dinner with Mark, Joey, Frank, Charlie, Scott, Jonathan, and Nigel; and a certificate of completion. Register here.
