With more than 200 locations throughout 48 states, you won’t have to travel thousands of miles for this immersive experience.

WHAT WE OFFER
Work with the Stars or Amplify Your Sound
With the Hartford, CT Recording Connection, you’ll learn the physical and psychological properties of making music. You’ll do it in less time for less money. And you’ll be getting one-on-one mentoring from an industrial insider to help build an unshakeable foundation.
But that’s only one side of the process. What we really want, what your mentor wants, is to help you find a job in the music business. And when it comes to the music industry, or any creative business, who you know is just as important as what you know. And that’s what we offer: We bring the “who” to you.
Your mentor. The artists they work with. Other audio engineers, music producers, and other professionals working in music. Everyone that comes through those studio doors is a potential employer or client. Every day is an interview, the portfolio you’re building is a resume.
These aren’t “guest speakers,” they’re real people making a living in the real world. And while we bring them in, it’s up to you to make the most of it. Are you learning when to step forward and when to hang back? How to talk to the talent? How to set up a studio for a session?
Basically, how to act like you belong there. We’ll give you the tools, but you need to learn how to use them. We can’t give you drive or determination – that comes from within. It’s a lot of hard work, long hours, and those glamorous sessions can be few and far between. Do you have what it takes to do what you need to do to make it?
Our students are often hired by the very mentors they work with, find work with other studios, or even open their own studios. They made themselves indispensable, invaluable to their mentors and their clients. We didn’t give them those jobs. We gave them the opportunities to earn those jobs.
What will you earn?
HARTFORD, CT MENTOR INFORMATION
Working with such stars as Brian McKnight, Andy González, KC and Jojo, Sonique, Calvin Richardson, and Angie Stone, our Hartford, CT, mentors are in high demand. So much so that if an artist can’t get to Connecticut, they’ll fly them in for session work in L.A., Miami – wherever they’re needed.
In order to have that kind of juice, you’ll need to know what you’re doing no matter what studio you’re in. So why not learn from those very mentors? Working with the latest and greatest digital audio workstations (Pro Tools), digital recorders (128-channel SSL), and enough mics, plug-ins, and instruments to produce any genre of music, our mentor has been nominated for four Grammys, winning one with Mary J. Blige.
Being able to work with any genre of music in any studio is what makes so-so audio engineers and music producers into award winners. With Recording Connection mentors, you’ll build a foundation that could one day take you around the U.S. – and the world. But it’s up to you to make it happen.
