How it works
THE Charlotte Audio Engineering School
We hit different and here is why:
The Recording Connection Audio Engineering and Music Production Program in Charlotte gives you a true hands-on experience inside a professional recording studio from the start. As you progress, you’ll have chances to work with artists in the studio–it’s the kind of experience that is invaluable as you work towards a career in the recording industry. And it’s something a classroom just doesn’t offer.
You’ll also have the opportunity to connect with others in the industry, develop relationships, and learn how a professional recording studio operates. Many Recording Connection students are employed by their mentors after completing the program or find work at other studios based on their mentor’s recommendations. Some students even develop their own roster of clients and open their own studios.
>When The RECORDING CONNECTION AUDIO ENGINEERING SCHOOLS were created, we want to give our students a totally immersive recording studio environment. Four-year universities or trade schools weren’t equipped to give the kind of hands-on, real-world, one-on-one experience we felt provided a better learning experience.
Almost three decades later, our audio production programs and workshops can be found in more than 200 locations around the country – including an AUDIO ENGINEERING SCHOOL IN CHARLOTTE, NC. You will be placed inside a professional audio recording studio alongside a mentor who will teach you music theory, live sound, how to work with artists, and more.
The Recording Connection curriculum is based on what the music industry is looking for now, not a recycled syllabus. Learning how to work on the latest digital audio workstations (Ableton Live, Pro Logic, or Pro Tools), how to get the most out of your clients, and even the business side of how to run a recording studio.
We will submit your music to labels or get you a job in a studio or as a creator.

The Charlotte Recording Connection Won’t Put You into Massive Debt
Yes, there are many industries where two, four, and even six years of school (and the accompanying student loan debt) are necessary. But that’s just not the case if you’re working behind the glass in the music industry. What you can do with the gear is much more important than what it says on a diploma.
Our programs last six to nine months and cost just a fraction of what those “brand” school tuitions are. And when you’re done with an audio engineering or music production program at the Charlotte Recording Connection, you’ll have a professional portfolio of your work that you can show to potential employers. Instead of taking on student loan debt for four years, you can start your career in less than one year.
CLOSE TO HOME OR IN YOUR HOME
10 Miles, 10 Blocks, or 10 Seconds away from your future
Although it’s the largest city in North Carolina, you’re never too far away from taking music production or sound design cues from an industry insider. Even though the Covid-19 pandemic made remote learning a necessity, Recording Connection has been perfecting the virtual process for years.
You may live just a mile or two away from us. But how would you like to be even closer? You will still receive the world-class education you need to pursue your music career, just in a way that protects both you and our mentors.

It Starts With Your Mentor
The experience you get with your mentor is an experience that will be able to translate to any studio in the world. By working with the same equipment that’s used throughout the industry–artists, audio engineers, music producers, and more–you’ll know the right way to make music in today’s world.
Recording Connection mentors have been in the industry for years, have the most up-to-date gear, and have the connections to give your career a jump start. It may be a cliche, but it’s also true: Who you know is just as important as what you know. And with the Charlotte Audio Engineering and Music Production Program from Recording Connection, you’ll get both. Let’s get started.

Yes, we have over 4000 positive reviews. Our students value the impact our programs have on their future. You learn from the best.
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.

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.
