SOUNDSCAPE SCHOOL FOR THE RECORDING ARTS
Royal Oak, MI
Learn to record, mix, and master like a pro
The Soundscape School for the Recording & Mixing Arts was founded by lead instructor and chief engineer Tim Smith in 2008 and has since then expanded to become one of the most highly respected institutions for audio education in the Midwest. With over thirty years of working professionally in the music industry, Tim laid out the foundation for each of our offered programs. His audio background knowledge spans from analogue to digital recording as well as live sound engineering.
Throughout his career as a performing and recording artist, Tim independently released nine albums worldwide, handled a Michigan based music distribution company (with over 160 Midwest accounts), toured the United States four times as a performing musician, and lastly founded one of the city’s most rapidly growing recording-mixing training facilities to date.
More recently, recording, mixing engineer Tim Smith developed a unique training system for molding and shaping a new breed of sound balance engineers! Needless to say, each of our State Licensed Programs are privately taught by one of our talented instructors, handpicked and personally trained by Tim Smith, on-site at the Soundscape Recording Studio in Royal Oak Michigan.
We offer flexible course schedules catering to the needs of each of our students. There are no prerequisites, previous education, or training required for any of our offered programs.

STUDENT REVIEWS
…I really loved the program. It was definitely a challenge, however, Tim is easy to work with and learn from. I learned so much more than I thought I would and I can honestly say that I feel comfortable using the gear and software after my sixteen weeks of training. I would 100% recommend this class to anyone!
…I absolutely enjoyed my time here studying under Tim. Having come into the program with some prior knowledge I did not find the program to be too difficult, I still needed to go home and study though I never felt extreme pressure before a quiz or exam. I think the crucial part of this class for me was that I was engaged twice a week in an actual studio learning with industry standard gear. In that regard, my time here was an invaluable experience that I could never get by just doing internet research or reading books. I knew someone experienced like Tim would show and teach me things that I had never heard of and even show me new ways of doing things that I already had been doing. I would absolutely recommend this course to someone interested in becoming a recording or mixing engineer.
…It was amazing to be in such an awesome learning environment with an instructor who is truly passionate. My goal is to one day embody the lessons you have taught me and eventually border on being your equal. I walked away from this program inspired with much more focus and understanding about the art of recording, mixing & mastering!
…My experience overall was great! This program had its challenges but nothing too extreme. I learned a lot more than I was expecting. The only downside to that was I wish there was more time to dive deeper into the information. Sixteen weeks go by fast! Regardless, I would definitely recommend this course to someone else!
