Personal Attended Recording Workshops
Between 2003 and 2020 I hosted Weekend Recording Workshops at Jackpot! Recording Studio, where I would run a group through techniques and concepts about music recording similar to the ones above. Students reported that they gain a lot from this workshop. I’ve also presented workshops in other cities, including Montreal, Cleveland, and Austin.
My new Attended Workshop is a one day recording tutorial. It runs from 10 am to 8 pm and is held at Jackpot! Recording Studio, 2420 SE 50th Ave, Portland, OR 97206.
With personal one-on-one attention, I can help you learn to listen deeper, work more efficiently, and undo any bad habits or misapplied techniques that hinder the effectiveness of your recordings. I will assist you in learning how to improve your tracking and mixing by examining recording techniques, song arrangements, sounds, instrument choices, as well as how sounds and tracks work together. Special attention will usually be paid to mixing techniques. The format of this Workshop can also be morphed into whatever you need. We can lean the discussion towards tracking, arrangement, mixing, gear, running a studio, archiving, or any other music recording topic you wish to discuss. The choice is yours! This workshop is geared towards home recordists, beginning engineers, studio owners, self-recording musicians, and anyone who wants to further their understanding of the music recording process who are interested in improving their results. The goal is to discover simple and effective ways to create more effective recordings using gear already available.
The $1000 per day rate is for a single person; extra attendees (up to 5 total) cost $250 per person. These Workshops are only booked on weekdays, Monday through Friday. We’ll take a break together at 2 pm at a local (walking distance) food cart or restaurant, or pick up food locally to bring back to the studio, and Jackpot! will cover the food costs. A $100 deposit, applied to the final cost, is required and will be payable online. The deposit will not be refunded if the session is cancelled with less than one month’s notice. Exceptions will be made for serious illness, covid, or death.

LinkedIn Learning Video Courses
My Music Recording and Mixing courses are offered at LinkedIn Learning. These feature over 12 hours of online videos that focus on recording and mixing, covering many techniques that have taken me years to accumulate. I’m really proud of these courses and feedback has been very positive for years! (This page contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.)
Virtual Recording Consultation by Larry Crane
I can help you learn to listen deeper, work more efficiently, and undo any bad habits or misapplied techniques that hinder the effectiveness of your recordings. I will assist you via a Zoom call in learning how to improve your tracking and mixing by examining recording techniques, song arrangements, sounds, instrument choices, as well as how sounds and tracks work together. In addition, special attention will be paid to mixing techniques. This consult is geared towards home recordists, beginning engineers, self-recording musicians, and anyone who wants to further their understanding of the music recording/mixing process who are interested in improving their results. The goal is to discover simple and effective ways to create more effective recordings using gear already available. A large part of the consult is usually about breaking down misguided techniques and limited preconceptions about the recording process. The typical skill level for students is someone who’s learned the basics but would like to hone their craft. During the consult I will be able to receive uploaded audio files or audio streams from clients in order to hear what they are working on. Cost: $100 per hour (initial 2 hr minimum), payable upon booking and scheduling.
