Testimonials
“I Recommend Brenda Francis’ Recording Class. Last month I took a class over four Saturdays. The class was taught by Brenda Francis of Idaho Sound. This was a total immersion experience. We were presented with an excellent, comprehensive textbook relevant to music recording and a binder stuffed with vital information relevant to the class curriculum.
In the course of four weeks we recorded, mixed and mastered individual interviews and three songs by a really good rock band. The class did all the work. Everybody had an equal opportunity to set up mics, engineer sessions and mix the results using premium Apple software. We learned about equalization, compression, reverb, etc. from the source material and hands-on experience. We walked out with a certificate and a thumb drive with what we ourselves had accomplished.
Brenda is patient, knowledgeable and a good leader with an eye on clock. I heartily recommend the class for both novices and people like me who have some experience in the studio. At the end of it, I returned to my modest home studio and recorded myself better than I ever had . Thank you, Brenda!”
