Marty Jane Robertson Master class "THE MUSICIAN IN THE RECORDING STUDIO"
Sound engineering with a career as a professional over thirty years, he will explain to musicians how to get the best out of work in the recording studio by relating in the right way with the sound engineer: from the right attitude of respect and openness, to knowing how to communicate what you need and what you want get as a musician. Students will have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of the sound characteristics of their instrument and / or their voice, acquiring a greater awareness of the expressive and artistic potential that can be achieved in the studio thanks to the synergy between sound engineer and musician.

"In my years of work as a sound engineer I have noticed a strong distrust between the musician and the sound engineer, both in the live and in the recording studio. In my opinion, the main reason is the lack of knowledge of the problems of one towards the other professional and the presumption of both ("my work is more important", "without me, you are nobody" and so via), without taking into account that the latter is valid both for one and for the other when it comes to amplification or recording. It is increasingly difficult to have the opportunity to follow the masters on the field and I think it is very important, today more than ever, to teach children all the notions, even the most basic, to give them a more solid preparation as musicians and future professionals " . (M. J Robertson)
