Sound Engineering and Record Production

About the Department

The Master's Degree in Sound Engineering and Record Production that we offer you will allow you, hand in hand with academics and renowned professionals, to acquire all the necessary knowledge to develop your own quality record production. 

Many soloists, bands, and instrumentalists dream of recording their musical creations with the highest fidelity, regardless of their artistic quality. The technical training necessary for this involves acquiring, and what is more important, putting into practice, a wide range of knowledge related to acoustics, electronics, computing, telecommunications, composition, and music management. Also, the ear and good taste are other desirable qualities that greatly influence record production.

Ludovico Vagnone, Tato Latorre, Antonio Escobar, Pablo Cebrián, Diego García -Twanguero-, Nigel Walker, Pedro Contreras... are some of the producers who teach with us. We also have a valuable collaboration with Sony Music Spain through its A&R (Artist and Recording) department.
