    Friday, Jul 17, 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

    Sweetwater Studios Engineer Jason Peets demonstrates how to capture Nick Bowcott’s hard-hitting rock guitar in all its metallic glory.

  2. Day 2: Americana/Blues/R&B featuring Don Carr

    Saturday, Jul 18, 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

    Record authentic tone, from spanky cleans and fast chicken pickin’ to gritty blues, as Sweetwater Studios engineer Jason Peets captures Don Carr’s emotionally dynamic six-string storytelling. Use pro production and miking techniques to grab the soul of live performances and avoid sterile recordings so your recordings land in that perfect sweet spot between warmth and articulation.
