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. In Addition, students may also take advantage of (unpaid) work experience internship opportunities immediately following successful program completion.

STUDENT REVIEWS
…I very much enjoyed taking this class, in fact I would have to say that I learned something new every single day! The program was put together well, I felt comfortable and confident each step of the way. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to get into recording.
…I really enjoyed my time here at The Soundscape Studio & School for the Recording Arts. Tim & Dustin are both great teachers who really know how to translate the art of making a record in the studio. This was the most difficult venture that I have ever done, in addition, I have learned well over what I expected. I had a blast physically going through the process in the studio and I’ve already been recommending this class to all of my musician friends! Thanks for an amazing experience.
…I had a great time & I learned a lot. This was so much better than a traditional classroom setting. I’ve already recommended Soundscape School to several friends.
…I had a fantastic experience and absolutely learned more than I was ever expecting. I came in as a kid with a passion for the art of recording and left with the necessary skills to compete on a whole new advanced level.
