Recording artists and bands such as Tim McGraw, Hank Williams Jr., Garth Brooks, Dwight Yoakam, Willie Nelson, Trisha Yearwood, Bonnie Raitt, Shania Twain and more have transformed country music and created today's country with its crossover appeal.

If you're a country musician, or in a country band, or want to be a music producer like Brian Levi, Sam Phillips or Allen Reynolds, one thing is definite, 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 music producer or audio engineer who is connected with major players in the rock music scene.  Best of all, you won't have to relocate as we have thousands of active, major recording studios and music professionals all over the United States and Canada, that serve as Recording Connection mentors (personal instructors) and "classrooms" (that's right, your classroom is a real recording studio). Our recording mentors will show you everything you need to know to get the elusive sound you are trying to capture with proper recording and mix-down techniques.  You will also learn Pro Tools and Reason and MIDI devices, get your own Mbox (on your 10th lesson), and learn what really goes on in the music business.  Click on this complete curriculum link (our low tuition price covers everything) to see what you will be learning during our hands-on mentor/apprentice program.

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. 

Or take a look at a short video of one of our Los Angeles mentors, Brian Levi, in which he recounts how he came to record Dwight Yoakam's first album. "Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc.".  Hint: it came about because Brian happened to be in the right place at the right time and had made the right connections--which is a major part of the Recording Connection audio recording and music producing program.
