Audio Production Training in Cuba

USCAE Audio Production Training Sessions

Havana, Cuba

January 25-31, 2019

Problem

No audio production education system or space exists in Cuba for independent producers, musicians and studio engineers. They are not able to easily access up-to-date software, hardware, training or ongoing education for the tools most artists are using in the rest of the world.

Program Mission  

To build a committee of US music producers, engineers and musicians who are dedicated to sharing their skills and knowledge about audio production technology and independent artist promotion in the digital market with music producers, home studios and artists in Cuba.

Program Goals

1.  To understand the general audio production skill level and available tools for recording that exist in Havana in a selected small group of established producers and home studios.

2.  To develop sustainable relationships with these producers and home studios for the purpose of working together, side by side, to build a self-sustainable curriculum that continues the skill share model.  

3.  To share up to date information, techniques and strategies for independent artist promotion via several different online platforms, including; website, Facebook artist page, Instagram, Soundcloud and Youtube.
