Visconti Studio’s second Winter School: PURE ANALOGUE WITH CHRIS KIMSEY  The Visconti Studio Winter School is a week-long practical recording & production workshop. The 1st Winter School was held in Feb 2017, where 10 lucky participants worked alongside Tony Visconti to produce a track with the band Artbreak. It was a great week. Our most recent PURE ANALOGUE Winter School took place from the 11th to the 15th of February 2019. This time we tracked a whole album, to tape, working under the expert guidance of legendary producer and engineer Chris Kimsey (Olympic Studios, The Rolling Stones, Marillion, Led Zeppelin, Peter Frampton, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Duran Duran, The Cult, and so many more). Participants will also receive on-the-job training from our in-house analogue experts Rob Plummer & Ebby Acquah. During the week participants learned and practiced the skills and tape-based workflow associated with the legendary sound of 1970s-era 24-track recording. The week covered sound engineering, tracking rhythm sections, orchestral percussion, vocals, strings and horn overdubs. At the end of the week-long experience, participants received Visconti Studio Winter School certification and the satisfaction that they assisted in the production of a complete album, working with a group of world-class musicians, and alongside a legendary figure of 20th-century studio culture. Topics covered during the week line up and operation our tape machines (Studer A827 2″ 24-track, and A80 Stereo 1/4″); tape-based tracking & editing; professional studio techniques for working with a wide range of instruments (acoustic/nylon-stringed guitars, string section, horns, orchestral, tuned and Latin percussion instruments, vintage keyboards, grand piano, vocals, etc) working effectively with the acoustics of Visconti Studio’s large, unique space; working as part of a production team in a fast-paced professional studio environment; hands-on practical tuition in analogue recording and production for 5 days with legendary producer Chris Kimsey and the VS team; access to Visconti Studio’s unique facilities; tape stock/consumables; lunch and refreshments for the 5 days; fully comped final drinks reception.
