Practicalities

For each workshop, you will need to bring a laptop, headphones, a device to record sound on such as mobile phone or portable microphone. You will also need to install a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation recording software) prior to the session.

Reaper, a DAW for Mac and Windows can be downloaded and tried for free here.

If you are unable to record sounds, Louis will provide a few sample sounds for each session.

This event is free but you must register here.
