Grammy and Latin Grammy nominated Brooklyn-based record producer, engineer, and musician, Joel Hamilton teaches this high level course which shines a light on the internal process of the producer, musician, and engineer, in the business of making compelling recordings that do well in the marketplace. Through this course you will be able to self analyse and dissect your working methods and creative process to create your own “aesthetic compass” to guide you through the art and craft of making recordings, as an engineer, producer, or even as a singer/songwriter/composer.

How to make a recording that stands out from the crowd without being too weird. You will learn how to apply a character to compositions while producing the recording.

Session 8: Hierarchy, Composing, Production, and Engineering in The Service of a Vision
Further dissection of the reasons behind the moment of inspiration, and the reasons we reach for a certain instrument, EQ, compressor, or device.

Further refinement of the presentation of elements meant to represent a particular emotion or gesture contained in the compositional intent.
