Recording artists and bands such as Van Halen, Buddy Holly, Eric Clapton The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Led Zeppelin, Kings of Leon. Jimi Hendrix, U2 and countless others have transformed their roots in the blues and created the genre coined by New York DJ, Alan Freed, as Rock 'n Roll. 

If you're a rock 'n roll or blues musician, or in a rock band, or want to be a music producer like George Martin, Bob Clearmount, Jimmy Iovine or Bob Rock, 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 music producer or audio engineer who is connected with major players in the rock music scene.  Best of all, you don't have to come to us, as we have thousands of active, professionals (mentors) in major recording studios all over the United States and Canada, so we'll bring the Recording Connection program to the city where you live.  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.

The Recording Connection recording school alternative has been around for 25 years--we're constantly tweaking and improving our curriculum to reflect both the current tastes in music as well keeping up with the frequent technology changes.  Our music recording program works because it puts you in real world situations, inside a real world recording studio where you will be working with the latest equipment and technology available in a hands-on way.  Most important, your private tutor will be an experienced, working music industry professional who knows the business inside-out, If you put in the time and effort, you will be get to meet and connect with other music professionals while they are in your studio doing session work.   So, not only will you gain hands-on experience combined with practical working knowledge, while you take our course, you will put yourself in a position to start a career in music upon graduation.  Think this is too good to be true?  So did Preston Boebel when he first came across our website.  He called us up and went to his initial interview with our mentor, then signed up for our recording course, and now he's the chief engineer at Clear Lake Audio in Hollywood, California.  You can check out his success story here, or take a look at his 8 -1/2 minute video that is located to the right.  He tells the story far better than we do.  Another success story is Billy Flores, who wanted to do live concert sound.  He came across our program and we hooked him up with a live concert audio mentor and now Billy is touring the world doing concert sound for the likes of The Rolling Stones, Eminem, Aretha Franklin, Black Eyed Peas, Sting, BB King, Guns N' Roses and more.  Billy Flores talks about the Recording Connection audio program here.
