Audio and Music Production School in Oakland, California

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 Oakland, California MUSIC RECORDING SCHOOL ALTERNATIVE

We hit different and here is why:

If you want to be a lawyer, a teacher, a pharmacist or some other nine to five job, you’ll need to go to school. But Recording Connection knows becoming an audio engineer or music producer isn’t like a “traditional” job. And we believe you can’t truly learn how to do it in a “traditional” classroom environment.

When you learn AUDIO ENGINEERING AND MUSIC PRODUCTION IN OAKLAND with us, you’ll be placed in a one-on-one situation with a professional music producer, learning how they set up a studio, work with artists, and take command of the most up-to-date gear. 

Being a PRO MUSIC PRODUCER means you don’t work traditional hours. You work when your clients are ready to work. That means late at night, on the weekends, even during a holiday. This allows our students the freedom to learn on their own time. They can still have a job, they can still have a family life, they can still have their own time.

That’s where we really separate ourselves from four-year universities and other institutes of higher learning. The amount of time it takes to complete our audio engineering and music production program is six to nine months. The cost? A mere fraction of what those university and trade schools are asking for in tuition. 

Let’s face it – in the music industry, who you know matters almost as much as what you know. That’s why we feel working with an OAKLAND MUSIC PRODUCER in real-life situations is so much more beneficial than the piece of paper you get after four years at a college.

CLOSE TO HOME OR IN YOUR HOME

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

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.

That’s where we really separate ourselves from four-year universities and other institutes of higher learning. The amount of time it takes to complete our audio engineering and music production program is six to nine months. The cost? A mere fraction of what those university and trade schools are asking for in tuition.

Let’s face it – in the music industry, who you know matters almost as much as what you know. That’s why we feel working with an OAKLAND MUSIC PRODUCER in real-life situations is so much more beneficial than the piece of paper you get after four years at a college.

The success of M.C. Hammer, En Vogue, Too Short, and Digital Underground proved 30 years ago that you don’t need to be in the hip hop epicenters of L. A. or New York to make it big. It proves you don’t need to move a hundred miles, or thousands of miles, to learn how to make music. 

In fact, The OAKLAND RECORDING CONNECTION makes it so you don’t need to move at all. Even before Covid-19 shut down many institutes of education, we had been offering remote learning for decades.

In addition to one-on-one learning with an industry professional inside a real-world recording studio, we also allow our students – and mentors – to remain safe during the pandemic via virtual learning. You’ll still work on the digital audio workstations the pros do, you’ll still get that personal time, and you’ll still learn how to be a professional.

You’ll just be able to do it from an Oakland home, condo, or apartment. Don’t have a car? Learn remotely. No access to public transportation? Learn remotely. Family commitments keeping you close to home? Learn remotely. And when the opportunity comes for you to be in the studio with your mentor? We’ll save you a seat.

Recording Connection makes sure that anyone who wants an audio engineering or music production education will have access to it – no matter where they live. What other OAKLAND AUDIO ENGINEERING SCHOOLS offer that?

Featured Oakland Music Production Mentors on Location or Remote

The Recording Connection offers something no “name” 4-year university or audio engineering and music production trade school can. From day one, you’ll be placed in a professional recording studio and receive one-on-one mentoring from award-winning producers and engineers.

This includes recording, mixing and mastering, hardware and software, live sound design, and even business skills.
