Audio lessons in Toulouse
Private recording and mixing lessons at your own pace, on a real console and in real rooms.
Audio lessons
In short
You have a home studio and want to understand why your vocals sound distant? You are starting out and want to learn how to place a microphone? Our private lessons start from your level and your projects, and take place at the studio on our equipment.
Each lesson lasts one hour, one-to-one with one of our engineers. You can bring your own songs: people learn best on a project they care about.
How it works
Four steps
- 01
Assessment
A first conversation about your level, your gear and what you want to learn.
- 02
Plan
We suggest a progression over a few lessons, adjustable at any time.
- 03
Practice
Each lesson mixes explanation and hands-on work, on your songs or ours.
- 04
Follow-up
A written summary after each lesson and exercises to do at home.
What you can learn
Recording: choosing and placing a microphone, setting a preamp, recording vocals, guitar or drums. Mixing: balance, EQ, compression, reverb, organising a session. Listening: spotting what is wrong in a mix and knowing why.
We adapt the content: a lesson can be entirely about your home studio, the acoustics of your room or a mix you cannot finish.
Private lessons, not certified training
Our lessons are private lessons. They are not vocational training within the meaning of the French Labour Code: they are not Qualiopi-certified, do not lead to a diploma or certification and are not eligible for the personal training account (CPF). A certificate of attendance can be issued on request.
We say so clearly so that you can choose with full knowledge.
Who are they for?
Lessons are for musicians, beatmakers, podcasters and curious minds, whether beginners or already equipped. Minors are welcome from the age of 12 with the written consent of a legal guardian who books for them; for under-16s, a responsible adult stays at the studio during the lesson.
The five-lesson pack
The five-hour pack is valid for three months from the first lesson. It allows real progress: we revisit ideas from one lesson to the next and you practise in between. Unused hours at the end of the three months can be extended once, on request, for three more months.
The 14-day right of withdrawal applies to a pack bought at a distance, under our terms of sale.
Preparing your first lesson
Bring headphones you know, a notebook and, if possible, one or two projects on a USB stick (separate tracks preferred). If you want to work on your home studio, take a few photos of your room and gear: it helps us give you concrete advice.
After the lesson
You receive a short summary by e-mail: the ideas covered, the settings used and one or two exercises. If you worked on your own tracks, we also send you the export of what was done during the lesson, so you can compare with your own attempts.
An example progression
Over a five-lesson pack, a typical progression might be: a first lesson on listening and organising a session; a second on recording vocals (microphone, distance, preamp); a third on balance and EQ; a fourth on compression and effects; and a last one devoted to your own mix from start to finish. This is only an example: if what you need is drum recording or the acoustics of your room, the plan changes.
Equipment and software
Lessons use the studio's equipment, but the principles apply to any recording software. If you use a particular program at home, tell us: we adapt the examples and, where possible, work in the same software. No purchase is needed to follow the lessons; if you are thinking of equipping your home studio, we can help you set a reasonable budget, with no commercial link to any brand.
Lessons for bands and associations
Our lessons are one-to-one, but we can welcome two people from the same project (a band, a podcast duo) for a shared lesson at the same hourly rate. If an association or cultural organisation would like a studio discovery session, write to us: we will look at the request and offer a suitable quote. These sessions remain discovery workshops, not vocational training. For groups of minors, the accompanying adults and the written consent of each legal guardian are arranged with the organiser beforehand.

FAQ
Questions about audio lessons

No. They are private lessons, not certified vocational training.
03Can I cancel a lesson?
Yes, free of charge up to 48 hours before. After that, the hour is deducted from the pack or remains payable.
04Do you teach online?
No, lessons take place at the studio: the point is to practise on the equipment and in the rooms.
