Audio and Music Production School in Tampa, Florida

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

Your Tampa, Florida MUSIC RECORDING SCHOOL ALTERNATIVE

We hit different and here is why: 

When Recording Connection was created more than 30 years ago, we wanted to change the educational model for those wanting to learn audio engineering and music production. For so long, students needed to move hundreds of miles to attend a four-year university, sit in a classroom, and take turns on the gear with other students.

For some institutions, that’s still the modus operandi today – although now they’ve tacked on $150,000 of student debt to boot. And what do those graduates have to show for it? A diploma, a photo op, and a hearty slap on the back. With the TAMPA RECORDING CONNECTION, you could already have three years of professional experience under your belt.

That’s because we put you in a PROFESSIONAL TAMPA RECORDING STUDIO on day one so you learn how music is made in today’s world. We place you in a one-on-one situation with a PRO MUSIC PRODUCER so you can learn how the experts operate in the studio. We let you choose your schedule so you can maintain a life – we understand you may have bills to pay after all.

One bill you won’t have to pay is a six-figure student loan. Recording Connection audio engineering and music production programs cost a tenth of many four-year universities and take just six to nine months to complete. There are still ebooks to read, exams to take, and attendance is mandatory. But would you rather sit in a classroom or a professional recording studio?

TAMPA RECORDING STUDIOS available in town to help tighten sets or produce new music are the only “classrooms” we care about. And if you’re interested in an audio engineering or music production career, what better way to learn than inside a professional studio with a PRO MUSIC PRODUCER?Along with hands-on learning in a one-on-one situation with a professional audio engineer or music producer, you’ll still be expected to read up on music theory, work on your craft outside of the studio, and show your proficiency throughout the program. But while students in a classroom will be receiving a GPA, you’ll be building your portfolio. What better time to Amplify Your Life than right now?

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

One of the issues with a “name” university is the fact that you may have to travel hundreds, even thousands, of miles away to attend. Say goodbye to family and friends, quit your job, and so on. With the Tampa Recording Connection, you can keep your commitments in place.

After all, you may be working towards a new life in music, but until then, you’ll need to keep one foot in your current life, right? Even when that life gets turned upside down. As 2020 proved, you may not be able to move whenever you want, or even leave your home!  But Recording Connection has a plan in place even during a worldwide pandemic.

We’ve been providing remote learning for decades to give students great access to our programs. Even though we have more than 250 locations spread across the U.S., you may still be too far away to attend in person. Our remote learning is the ideal solution.

If you've been looking for a way to drastically increase your skill and knowledge of audio engineering then RRFC should be at the top of your list. RRFC has transformed who i am as an engineer, and how i approach music as a whole.

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!

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.
