Most Common Recording Mistakes and How to Avoid Them.
2-hour workshop with Wojtek Wieslawski, engineer and producer.
- Don’t know how to properly record instruments or vocals?
- Getting lost when choosing gear, plugins, or miking techniques?
- Constantly “fighting” with your recorded tracks in the mix instead of creatively shaping the sound?
Sign up, and in just three hours you’ll learn how to eliminate recording mistakes at the source, so you won’t have to ‘rescue’ your sessions later in the DAW
Join an intensive 2-hour online workshop led by Wojtek Wiesławski — an audio engineer with over 25 years of experience, co-founder of Hertz Recording Studio.
- Over 300 albums produced;
- Double Platinum and two Fryderyk awards for co-produced projects;
- Collaborations with Behemoth, Decapitated, Vader, Hate, Patriarkh, Hour of Penance, and many more.
Learn how to avoid common recording mistakes so your tracks sound powerful and cohesive right from the start — making the mixing process smooth and fast.
What mistakes will you eliminate?
You’ll learn how to avoid the most common recording mistakes:
- Wrong choice of gear and mic techniques;
- Improper recording levels;
- Phase issues;
- Poor monitoring;
- Ignoring room acoustics.
Who is it for?
- Engineers and producers who want to record better and mix faster;
- Artists who want to capture their own music in top quality;
- Anyone recording audio at home or in the studio.
Why is it worth it?
- 100% practical – we work on real sessions, not slides;
- Live feedback – I’ll analyze two participant recordings live;
- PDF checklist “Problem → Solution” – so you don’t repeat the same mistakes in future sessions;
- Access to the full workshop recording.
Want your recording analyzed?
- Export your tracks:
- in the format “<instrument_type>.wav” (np. “vocal_main.wav”, “guitar_L.wav”);
- sample rate 44100 Hz;
- Export your final version of the mix (in the format “mixdown.wav”, stereo, 44100 Hz);
- Upload the files to Google Drive / Dropbox / OneDrive, make them sharable and generate a link to the files;
- Send the link to: [email protected]
- Add 2–3 sentences about your expectations + a link to a reference track.
From all submissions, I will select 3 mixes for live analysis.
