Visconti Studio is a working studio and a teaching and learning environment. Coursework, short courses and masterclasses happen in the same room, following Kingston School of Art's philosophy of "Thinking Through Making".
We run short courses in recording, editing, and production, open to anyone over 18. You do not need a music degree, a qualification, or any previous studio experience, and you do not need to be attached to the university.
Groups are small enough that everyone gets their hands on the equipment.
Five days, 10am to 4pm. £550, no VAT.
Running a professional session from end to end. Consoles and signal flow, microphones and outboard, Pro Tools from the basics through to advanced workflow, recording a live performance in the octagon, then mixing and mastering what you made. Courses are taught in the studio itself, on the Audient console and the room's own instruments, microphones and outboard. Groups are small enough that everyone gets their hands on the equipment.
Open to anyone aged 18 or over. Familiarity with an instrument or a DAW helps, but it is not required. Dates for the next run are being confirmed.
Full course details and how to book.
More courses are in development and will be listed here as they open.
Interns assist on real sessions alongside our engineers.
The scheme is open to Kingston University students who have received training in the studio, and can demonstrate a level of skill and confidence recording sound in the environment.
Music students at Kingston School of Art use this studio as part of their degree.
Dedicated studio modules give supervised, hands-on training in recording, mixing, and producing here. Students move from coursework onto real sessions as assistants via the internship scheme.
Entry requirements, fees, and open days are on the Kingston University website.
