Make sure you do the practical exercises in the 'Using Reaper' module. It'll help you much more than just watching the videos 🙂

On Comments

There's a comment section below every lesson. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave them there. I want you to get the most possible from these courses. I only ask you be specific. A comment such as "I don't understand what you're doing in that video" will be difficult to respond to meaningfully. "At 4:52 in the second video, you were using an EQ. What were you listening for?" would be an example of a specific question, and one I can reasonably answer.

Technical Problems

I can't stand it when I get a course and it doesn't work. For that reason, any technical difficulties with the program are at the top of my priority list and I will look into them at the first possible moment.

There's a contact link and a tech troubleshooting link near the bottom of every page. That might get you your answer before I can get to you.

Navigation

At the top of each page, you'll see this . . .

Courses Logo

That link will take you to the courses home page where you can see all your courses.

The courses are divided into modules and lessons. Modules are the big pieces and lessons are generally videos within those big subjects. You can go through in chronological order, from the start to the finish of the recording process, just by clicking on the "Next Lesson" button underneath the lessons. Or, come back to this page to see all the modules.

About the teacher

Keith Livingston

Keith Livingston started recording his own music in the late '70s, on a 4-track. He worked his way into live sound and studio work as an engineer -- mixing in arenas, working on projects in many major studios as a producer/engineer, and working in conjunction with an independent label.

He taught audio engineering at the Art Institute of Seattle, from 1990-1993, and in '96, contributing to authoring several college-level courses there.

He was General Manager of Радио один (Radio 1) in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Now he spends his time recording his own songs wherever he roams, and teaching others to do the same.
