Not like any other school, this is Audio Education Updated, Reimagined, and Revitalized. Are You Ready to Take Your Place?
We took that old stale classroom concept, rebuilt and upgraded it by putting your classroom in a professional recording studio. Then we emptied out all the other students and left only YOU and YOUR TEACHER (yay for one-on-one learning!) who happens to be a pro music producer (with killer credits) to train you privately (at your pace, full time, part time, nights or weekends available).
Your Journey starts here. Amplify your Life and go to the next Level.

How it works
We hit different and here is why:
Everybody knows the standard M.O. of attending university for a traditional degree. Rushing to the registrar hoping to get the classes you want at the times you want – and being forced to take the classes you don’t. Spending time in a classroom, fighting for the teacher’s attention with all the other students.
The music industry is far from traditional – so why take the standard approach when learning AUDIO ENGINEERING AND MUSIC PRODUCTION IN ROCHESTER? The Rochester Recording Connection lets you set your own schedule, learn what you want to learn, and you never have to step foot in a traditional classroom.
Lab time? It’s all lab time with us. We put you in a professional ROCHESTER RECORDING STUDIO, giving you six or nine months (not four years) of one-on-one time with a PRO MUSIC PRODUCER. You’ll learn how the music of today is made in an immersive environment.
Already have a job or other commitments during the day? We won’t make you uproot your life to attend. Working with an Academic Facilitator, you’ll be able to set up times that work for you. After all, music is made 24/7, 365 days a year – not in predetermined eight-hour chunks.
Prerequisites? What’s a prerequisite? Recording Connection mentors won’t make you relearn stuff you already know. Already understand music theory or can read sheet music? You’ll spend your time learning the ins and outs of a digital audio workstation. We’ll give you a solid foundation for what you don’t know and strengthen your understanding of what you do.
Where we really separate ourselves from four-year universities and other institutes of higher learning is the amount of time and money it takes to complete our audio engineering and music production program. Our programs last from six to nine months and cost a fraction of so many of those “name” schools.
Recording Connection was created to give you a real-world look at how today’s music gets made. Your mentor is a working audio engineer or music producer. With us, you could be working with local acts, regional talent, and maybe even a few nationally known artists while you build up your skills and experience. Instead of reading about it, you’ll be doing it. Are you ready to amplify your life?
We will submit your music to labels or get you a job in a studio or as a creator.

CLOSE TO HOME OR IN YOUR HOME
10 Miles, 10 Blocks, or 10 Seconds Away from Your Future
The Rochester Recording Connection is just one of more than 250 locations around the United States. We want to prove you don’t need to live in New York City, Los Angeles, or Miami to learn audio engineering and music production from inside the studio.
But we also understand no matter how close you live to one of our mentors, life can get in the way. Whether it’s professional or family commitments – or a worldwide pandemic – you may not be able to commit to in-person attendance. That’s why we’ve been offering remote learning for decades.
You’ll still learn about digital audio workstations, still get that one-on-one time with your mentor, and still get the required reading, quizzes, and exams. You’ll just be able to do it from your home. We are an educational institution, a post-secondary that’s radically different in its approach. With us, you aren’t limited to the mentors in your area – we’ve opened up the entire country when it comes to choosing who you want to work with (granted they accept you as their extern)!

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.
