PreSonus Education

Today we have a special guest blogger, our great friend Mats Nermark from Sweden! Mats is a long time PreSonus user and has led the way in his area with his approach to education! Let’s hear what Mats has to say this week!

What Do You Need to Start a Class?

Unfortunately, there’s always a cost associated with starting a project like a class in Music Production or just wanting to incorporate modern music technology in your regular classes.

The trick to make the budget people happy is obviously to keep the cost down, but what do I need at a minimum without compromising my goals and ambitions?

Here’s my list of what I would get.

For each student workstation:

• A computer
• PreSonus AudioBox iOne
• PreSonus Studio One Artist (included with the AudioBox iOne)
• A USB keyboard
• Headphones, like the PreSonus HD-7

For the teacher workstation:

• A computer
• PreSonus AudioBox iTwo (this interface has two inputs so the teacher can record in stereo)
• PreSonus Studio One Artist (included with the AudioBox iTwo)
• A USB keyboard
• Headphones, like the PreSonus HD-7
• Two microphones so the teacher can teach about recording and lend them to students for their recording needs in class. Usually not practical to record more than one thing at a time.
• A pair of PreSonus 4.5 studio monitors so everyone can listen to examples/demonstrations during classes.

I will be back with more posts about what I teach, how I do it and why I love teaching in this field. Hope to see you then!
