Chicago Audio Engineering and Music Production School

You remember school, right? Go to class for an hour, wait for a bell, and then shuffle to the next class. Different teachers, different subjects, doing what you needed to make sure you checked all of the graduation requirements. And then it’s four more years of the same thing at a university to learn the recording arts – at a considerably higher price tag!

The Recording Connection MUSIC ENGINEERING SCHOOLS IN CHICAGO break that cycle. Instead of four more years of shuffling from prerequisites to labs, we put you in the middle of music recording studios from day one. Working with professional audio engineers, music producers, and beat makers, you’ll learn the business from the INSIDE OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.

HOW IT WORKS

Learn Music Production in Chicago

Chicago was a mecca for early jazz, gospel, blues, and other forms of music while producing many of today’s most influential artists. But it’s also your home! And in this “new normal,” your home may be the best place for you to start your audio engineering, music production, post-production, and other music recording education.

Years ago, The Recording Connection was one of the first schools offering remote learning for hip hop, live DJ, and EDM production. While you may still be placed in one of several CHICAGO AUDIO ENGINEERING STUDIOS, all of our programs can also be taken remotely. We won’t let a pandemic get in the way of chasing your dreams.

DON’T Take on Huge Student Loan Debt

Working one-on-one with a mentor (instead of elbowing for attention in a classroom), the Recording Connection MUSIC PRODUCTION SCHOOL creates its curriculum based on the day-to-day operations of a real-world recording studio. We give you the tools of audio production, sound engineers, and live sound to give you the foundation you need to start a career.

And we do it in a quarter of the time and a tenth of the price of major 4-year universities. After nine months at the CHICAGO RECORDING CONNECTION, you’ll have the education, the experience, the confidence, and maybe even a job. After four years of college, you’ll have a degree, potentially six figures of debt, and not much else.

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.
