LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA is the 2nd largest DMA in the nation.  Countless celebrities call Los Angeles their home.  An anomaly in the sports market with two NBA teams (Lakers and Clippers), two MLB teams (Dodgers and Angels) and no NFL teams, Los Angeles is clearly the Entertainment Capital of the U.S.   IMDB credits over 14,265 feature films, TV series and shows with Los Angeles as their location, clearly establishing the City of Angels as the capital of the film and TV industries.  According to SoundScan sales figures, Los Angeles is the 2nd largest market for recorded music sales.  It plays host to both hip new music venues as well as landmark clubs like The Whiskey and The Troubadour along with the new wave establishments like The Abbey, The Groundlings, The Improv, Key Club, Granada, Saints & Sinners, 3 Clubs, The Jonathan Club, Beverly Hills Country Club, Key Club, Malo, La Cita, Largo, The Echo and The Viper Room.

If you dream of a career in the music industry, as a producer, a recording or audio engineer, a musician, or just want to record your own demo records, RECORDING CONNECTION Music Recording School of Los Angeles can help you achieve your dreams.  Close your eyes and imagine yourself learning music recording at a place like Elephant Symphony.









How do we do it?  Simple, RECORDING CONNECTION is the Mentor Apprentice School of Music Recording, and we provide each student with their own mentor—a working industry professional in the specific discipline chosen by the student—who provides one-on-one training in a real recording studio.  While apprenticing, two to three days a week, around the student’s schedule, over a period of six months, the student acquires dozens of industry connections and contacts.   They will also learn, really learn, how to use Reason and Pro Tools from a master who's livelihood depends on their knowledge of every in-and-out they can do. 

RECORDING CONNECTION has locations in almost every Top 100 city in the United States (including multiple locations in Southern California including throughout the greater Los Angeles area) as well as locations in Canada, its headquarters are in Los Angeles.  This means in addition to the normal RECORDING CONNECTION Edge: hands on experience and industry connections, the Los Angeles RECORDING CONNECTION Music and Audio Recording School student gains another edge: proximity.  The student is here, RECORDING CONNECTION is here and the mentor is here.  Think of the magic you can be doing once you apply to RECORDING CONNECTION.  

Check us out.  Compare us to the competition and you’ll discover what we already know….RECORDING CONNECTION is the original Mentor Apprentice Film School and it’s still the best.

This week I went to meet Donny for a second time to check out the studio and review my first assignment. We went over assignment one together and answered a few questions I had regarding the material. Donny showed me around the studio so I would be comfortable with the various rooms and set up.

Last night I finished the last lesson of the program and throughout the program I really did spend a lot of time reading and learning.  My personal experience with the studio and Donny Baker is great and I think his facility and him as a mentor are great opportunities for students to learn.

I enrolled with the Recording Connection because I felt like it would be the most realistic way to achieve my goals. I've heard from many people that "recording schools" are a big risk because you never actually get your "foot in the door". Another thing that appeals to me is that I will be working one-on-one with a mentor and not in a classroom setting, because I know I will learn much more. The price of Recording Connection compared to other recording schools is unbeatable, and I know I will have a better chance of finding a job because I will have had real studio experience. My goals upon completion of this course are to get a great job in a studio and understand everything there is to know about recording professionally. My dream is to have my own professional studio, and just record and play music for a living. After the completion of this course, my steps will be in the direction of finding a great job in a studio where I can record music and have fun. Hopefully, I will be able to do that for a very long time, while saving money and eventually starting my own business. No matter what happens, my passion is music and recording music, so whatever I can do in that field I will be happy with! Thank you Recording Connection. I know that my career is now in my hands because you guys got me inside a real studio. No regular school can say that. Thank You!

You read about the stuff, it's right in front of you.  Then you go with your mentor and actually do it. Perfect.

I can use the studio anytime there is not a gig going on. I learn from my mentor and then get to come into the studio.

I was in the studio yesterday, not for a lesson or anything, just seeing how it all works. I go for lessons and them I go to sit in and
observe. I feel like a V.I.P.

We comped vocals, worked directly with an artist's producer for the first time, and interacted with artists. This is unreal. I am working on real projects as an assistant and I have only been doing this for 4 months. The Recording Connection is a fast track way into the recording business.
