Recording Connection does a GREAT job at placing you into REAL studios with REAL engineers and opens the door to allow you to create those connections with your mentor, and continual learning. You truly get out of the program what you put in. Another great aspect of the program are the virtual advisors that can help you with question regarding Pro Tools and other material as well. Much props to Alex Solis for helping me through the program!
Octavio Preciado
After being a musician for a couple of years, I've decided to take my music skills to the next level. I was very fortunate to have landed in Recording Connection, they helped me out since day one with my registration, and any paperwork needed. I was placed at ES Audio Studios in Glendale, CA. My mentor at the studio, Donny B. is very knowledgeable. He helped me through the process since the beginning. He helped me pick a great laptop suitable for Engineers. I had no clue of the existence of any DAW's, and after a few months of spending time at the studio, asking questions, getting a hands on experience, and doing colabs with other students/engineers I now have the privilege to be a professional. A huge thank you, to all who helped answer my questions and helped me grow as a professional engineer.
Jorge Fuentes Quiroz – Los Angeles, California
I had a very good experience with Recording Connection and my mentor Donny Baker from ES Audio Recording Studios. He taught me the things that I need to know about being an engineer/producer and to always be prepared for the gig and to keep the gig as well. I learned a lot from my mentor, other students that are more experienced, my Academic Facilitator Jon, and other engineers that worked there. I thank everybody that has helped me through this journey and will use the advice that has been given to me to improve as an engineer.
Noah Gonzalez – Los Angeles, California
We know what your instinct is telling you, in the music business it is not just who you know, but WHO KNOWS YOU.
The more connections you have in music, the more you will work, the more you will work, the more you will make, the more you make the more freedom you will have.
Most schools make a ton of promises and give you very few connections. Recording Connection not only gives you a world class education in the very best a setting (a real recording studio and and with a PRO MUSIC PRODUCER), we also give you connections.
ENDORSED BY THE BEST
HEAR HOW RECORDING CONNECTION IS DIFFERENT FROM THE PROFESSIONALS AROUND THE GLOBE.
Steve Catizone
Studio Owner, Music Producer for Black Eyed Peas, Alanis Morrissette, Aerosmith, Wyclef Jean, U2, Big Sean
“The hands-on approach in-studio audio engineer and music production training that is the basis of the Recording Connection program is definitely the best way to learn. I wish it was around when I first started! Learning directly from experienced engineer/Producers is really the best way to gain not only technical knowledge but insight into the recording industry as well. It is also great for students to see the day-to-day operation of a modern recording studio and all that this business entails. The technical skills a student can learn in Pro Tools, Logic and Ableton thru The Recording Connection are cutting edge. We end up hiring students regularly once they graduate.”
Mark Christensen
Studio Owner, Mix, Audio Engineer, Producer: Tre Songz, 50 Cent, Madonna, Asap Rocky, Nicki Minaj, The Killers, John Legend, LeBron James
“The combination of one-on one-instruction and the opportunity to learn inside of a working commercial recording studio makes this the best audio education option out there!”
Ricky Rich
Studio Owner, Music Producer: Travis Scott, Diplo, Drake, Justin Bieber, Little Wayne, DJ Khalid, Black Panther Soundtrack
“I only learned from theorists, so all of my teachers had theory but none of them actually worked in this music business. When Recording Connection reached out to me, I thought it was a great solution and a great option because I wish I would have found something like this when I was a student; because of the one on one, the price, and to actually be in a real world environment, learning, seeing and watching how everything works is a much better choice than going somewhere learning from someone who just knows book knowledge or theory. It is all about connections and the Recording Connection is my top choice and the best school out there.”
Patrick Heaney
Audio Engineer, Music Producer: Snoop Dogg, Green Day, Interpol, Skrillex, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Cage the Elephant
“Helping students take their ideas and make it come to life is mind blowing. This isn’t an online course. This is where you write, track, mix and master albums. This is where you put your name out into the world. This is where you expand your brand. This is where you find business partners. This is where you collaborate and make records. The Recording Connection is it.”
