Music Producers Institute is the only studio clinic in the world that shows you "the real deal." MPI takes you inside your favorite artist's live recording session for a once-in-lifetime look at how they produce their music. You'll see and hear the entire record-making process, from pre-production and arranging to tracking, overdubbing and mixing -- all in world-class studios like the Sound Emporium, Ocean Way or Blackbird in Nashville, TN or Pedernales and Bismeaux Studios in Austin, TX. You'll gain years of production experience attending our one, two and three day recording sessions.
MPI was founded in 2008 by Grammy-winning record producer and musician Steve Fishell as a way for young producers to improve their own producing skills. Fishell serves as host and teacher, explaining the record making process with his step-by-step curriculum.
"I wholeheartedly endorse MPI and believe in what they are doing. In fact, I feel they played a key role in getting us back into the studio." --- Jason Ringenberg, frontman forJason & the Scorchers, April 2009
"I never stopped taking notes, and I feel that I have learned enough to significantly improve my own studio experience and know the difference between a good sound and a great sound. Thank you for taking me to the next level!" Heather Butte, MT
