Audio and Music Production School in Cleveland, Ohio

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).

HOW IT WORKS

Your Cleveland, Ohio MUSIC RECORDING SCHOOL ALTERNATIVE

We hit different and here is why: 

What can you say about Cleveland and its place in the music-making universe? Its history is steeped in different kinds of music. DJ Alan Freed turned Cleveland into a bit of a rock and roll hot spot back in the day and now it’s the location of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Every year, some of the biggest names in the music industry find their way to Cleveland for induction ceremonies.

There’s plenty of music to be made the rest of the year, too. Although there are cities with more historical cache (Chicago to the West, Detroit to the West, New York to the East, and Atlanta to the South), Cleveland makes no bones about their own musical pedigree.

Which makes it the perfect place for you to learn how the music industry works. Recording Connection will place you in a fully immersive environment alongside a PRO MUSIC PRODUCER. Other Cleveland audio production or music production schools put you in a classroom, offering little hands on instruction. With us it’s all about getting your hands dirty.

You’ll still take the time to understand about music theory, the physiology of sound, and how you perceive certain sounds. But, unlike conventional schools, with Recording Connection you’ll put the information to use almost immediately with standard industry audio gear that has been used for decades as well as the newest technology.

Where better to hear your evolution as a music producer than inside a CLEVELAND RECORDING STUDIO? Traditional audio engineering schools may have occasional lab time where you can work a few hours a week. The Cleveland Recording Connection flips the script – it’s almost all lab time with us, though your “lab” isn’t a lab at all—it’s a legit, open-for-business recording studio.  

And instead of working with other students, you’ll be working up and coming local acts, established regional groups, and if you’re lucky, international stars looking to work before performing at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or record when they’re passing through, on-tour. Think that kind of experience can be replicated in a classroom? 

We feel we offer a better way to learn about audio engineering and music production in Cleveland. And we know we offer it for less money and less time than traditional four-year “name” universities. We have hundreds of testimonials and success stories from past graduates. Now is the time to amplify your life.

GET STARTED

You don’t have to go into extreme debt to go to Music Production and Audio Engineering School

We can train you in a real recording studio for far less. Play it smart–get on the inside track, and get connected as you get educated. Our audio recording school is a highly effective and affordable way to start your audio engineering career.

You’ll still take the time to understand music theory, the physiology of sound, and how you perceive certain sounds. But, unlike conventional schools, with Recording Connection you’ll put the information to use almost immediately with standard industry audio gear that has been used for decades as well as the newest technology.

Where better to hear your evolution as a music producer than inside a CLEVELAND RECORDING STUDIO? Traditional audio engineering schools may have occasional lab time where you can work a few hours a week. The Cleveland Recording Connection flips the script – it’s almost all lab time with us, though your “lab” isn’t a lab at all—it’s a legit, open-for-business recording studio.

CLOSE TO HOME OR IN YOUR HOME

10 Miles, 10 Blocks, or 10 Seconds away from your future

With so many opportunities to learn from and work with the best, there’s really no reason to leave Cleveland at all to pursue a career in the music industry. But as the events of 2020 and beyond have shown us, being able to leave your home for any reason isn’t always possible.

Even when we’re not in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, getting to school the traditional way isn’t always easy. Lucky for you, the CLEVELAND RECORDING CONNECTION is anything but traditional. For decades, along with in-studio training, we’ve been offering remote learning opportunities to those that need them.  

And no one would describe the music industry as standard, either. Audio engineers and music producers need to be agile, willing to work at any time, often with little notice. With remote learning, you’ll have the ability to train in a one-on-one manner with your mentor. If you have questions, all you have to do is ask. Want to get their advice on your latest track? Want to get a pro’s advice and have conversations, not lectures, that’s how we do it. All you need is a fast enough computer, strong internet or wifi, and a willingness to work as hard as you can when in the (virtual) studio

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.
