Recording artists and bands such as The White Stripes, Radiohead, Coldplay, Nirvana, Portishead, Fatboy Slim, Jack Johnson, She Wants Revenge, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Santogold and more have transformed their rock 'n roll roots and created the alternative rock genre. 

If you're an alternative or punk musician, or in an alternative or punk band, or want to be a music producer like Steve Alibini or Rick Rubin, one thing is for sure, you need to know the ins-and-outs of a real recording studio. With The Recording Connection you will learn the smart way, the fast way, the right way:  one-on-one tutoring from a professional recording engineer or music producer who is connected with major players in the alternative music genre.  Best of all, you won't have to relocate as we have thousands of active, major recording professionals all over the United States and Canada, that are Recording Connection mentors.  They will teach you everything you need to know to get the sound you are trying for and how to capture that sound with proper recording and mix-down techniques.  Along the way, you will learn Pro Tools and Reason and MIDI devices, get your own Mbox (on your 10th lesson), and learn how the music business REALLY works.  Visit our complete curriculum (everything is included in our low tuition price) page to see everything you will be studying in a hands-on manner.

We have been offering our Recording Connection program for 25 years--we're constantly refining our curriculum to reflect both the current tastes in music as well as the changes in technology that occur on a frequent basis.  Our program works because it puts you in real world situations, in a real world recording studio with hands-on experience on all the technology currently available.  Best of all, you will be trained by an experienced, working professional in the music recording business who really knows the business, and simply by putting in the time, you will be exposed, on an almost daily basis, to other music professionals who are in the studio working on their own projects.   Thus, you will gain hands-on experience and practical working knowledge while you take our course and put yourself in a position to start a career in music upon graduation.  Think this can't happen?  So did Preston Boebel when he first came across our website.  He checked us out, signed up for our recording course, and today he's the chief engineer at Clear Lake Audio in Hollywood, California.  You can check out his success story here, or view a 8 -1/2 minute video that is located to the right.
