Get comfortable. Get creative. Get recording.

This 2-hour, hands-on session led by our Studio Director, Jason Wegfahrt, is designed to get you fully dialed in on how to operate The Foundry’s Production Suites—from setting up to punching in. Whether you're a freelance producer, engineer, or artist looking to record yourself, this crash course will walk you through the gear, the workflow, and the mindset needed to run your sessions efficiently and professionally.

You'll learn how to confidently use the Cranborne 500R8 interface, understand how it's patched and routed, and how to record clean, pro-level audio with it.

Normally, a one-on-one session covering this material would cost ~$250 per person, but this group workshop gives you the same insider knowledge for a fraction of the price—plus the added benefit of community learning and real-time Q&A.

Whether you're prepping for your first session in the suites or just want to unlock their full potential, this workshop will leave you confident and ready to create.
