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
“…My experience was great and I loved working with Tim. It was challenging for sure however I have learned so much that it’s hard to believe we fit all of this into 16 weeks. I’m thankful to have taken this class and would highly recommend this to anyone thinking of getting into audio arts. ”
“…I had high expectations when taking this course and it still exceeded them. I’ve been mixing on my own for five years and I thought I would be learning a few techniques to enhance what I already knew. But now, I don’t even like to listen to anything I mixed prior to taking this class! I’ve been getting a lot of compliments on my latest mixes and people are always shocked when they discover that I do this all at my house by myself. what I love most about this course is that it sets you up with the knowledge to think for yourself under any circumstance. Essentially I was taught the science behind it all. I honestly recommend this course to anyone serious about learning the ins and outs of recording & mixing. ”
…This course is great for anyone interested in recording and or mixing at a professional level. I had some prior knowledge coming into the class however I learned a ton! It was great to experience learning in a real recording studio with industry standard gear. Definitely recommend this program!
…My overall experience at The Soundscape was very positive. Without this class I probably would have spent years searching to find the information taught or perhaps spent years wasting time at an expensive university. The most difficult part of the class, for me, was learning, understanding and applying the terms. Aside from that I learned a lot about recording and mixing organic sounds (live instruments). Honestly I genuinely wish the program was longer, I learned so much and have already told others about my time here training.
