A Weekend Of Hands-On Vinyl Mastering/Recording And Networking!
The two-day workshop (Sat & Sun) is limited to only TEN people. We keep the attendance numbers small to provide a truly unique experience, and our discussions are designed to involve everyone regardless of experience level!
2025 Vinyl Camp:
August 2nd & 3rd 2025

SATURDAY (10am-6pm)
The day will be spent learning about every aspect of Welcome To 1979 studio, including our mastering suites, tape archival department and Mara Machines. We'll also take time to learn about each other's backgrounds and goals for the weekend. Towards the end of the day you will spend time in our vinyl mastering suite with our mastering team to learn all about vinyl mastering in preparation for Sunday's activities.
SUNDAY (10am-6pm)
We will be recording a band live to vinyl! You will help decide which microphones will be used, setup and patch all equipment. Then we will all help to get the sounds dialed in. Before the needle drops we'll send half the group into the vinyl mastering suite to assist our mastering team, the other half will stay in the control room to help with the mixing. We'll switch for side B of the live to vinyl so everyone gets to see both ends of the process. This kind of recording experience ONLY happens at Welcome To 1979!!!
