What We Do
(How Our Audio Recording School Alternative Works)

Our whole purpose at Recording Connection is to provide you with the training, experience and knowledge to make you employable in the music or recording business. Everything we do and our entire curriculum revolves around this mission.  With this in mind, we believe the following are the core fundamentals that make the Recording Connection Recording School Alternative special.


If you were to take a poll of everyone working in the music and sound industries, you would find that over 92% of people employed in the music business got their first job by just doing it.  An even greater percentage of people employed in the recording industry would tell you two additional things:

How do audio engineers and music producers get their first job? 

Many were in the right place at the right time.  Whether you want to be the next Quincy Jones or P. Diddy or just want to make a nice living working behind the scenes in the music busines, the Recording Connection Audio and Music School Alternative can help.  With our Recording School Alternative you get to learn how to be an audio engineer, music producer or more as you make connections in the real world.  Think about it, where are you more likely to get hired--in a recording school classroom, or on an actual music session in a real recording studio.  While we don't have the numbers, we think it's plain common sense--you don't get jobs in the music business sitting in a clasroom.   Let's be frank, if you have a relative named Snoop Dogg you don't need us.   For the rest of you, the Recording Connection is that inside connection.

Recording Connection Recording Institute will hook you up with your own personal mentor, in the skill set and discipline that appeals to you the most, and for six months your mentor will teach you the skills you need, provide you with the experience you have to have and become your inside man for hooking you up with job openings.   A perfect example of how this works can be seen in the video of Preston Boebel, shown to the right.

Do You Guarantee Success?

Now, does this guarantee every Recording Connection graduate a job?  Absolutely NOT!!!  Let's repeat that, Recording Connection does NOT guarantee you a job.    What we do guarantee is that we will put you in the right place at the right time with the right skill set. HOWEVER, if you have not impressed your mentor he’s not going to risk his reputation by recommending you for a job opening with one of his music industry friends—it’s just not going to happen.   On the flip side; if you’ve spent the last six months impressing your mentor with your attitude, your enthusiasm, your quest for knowledge and improvement and have proved yourself invaluable, and have completed our course curriculum, who else is he going to recommend?  (Some recording student in a classroom he doesn't know, or you, whom he has worked closely with over the last six months!)

What the Recording Connection really does is elevate the playing field you’re on--it's like playing with loaded dice.   If you’ve listened and learned from your mentor and impressed him, you’re in the perfect position to take advantage of being in the right place at the right time with an introduction and all the real world experience you need to get started.

  

The Bottom Line

For 25 years, The Recording Connection has put students in situations and created opportunities for them to learn by doing, gaining them real-world experience that counts for something in the music and recording industries--all the while allowing the student a chance to impress the very folks who can offer them jobs in music or sound production.  In other words, we give our students all the tools they need to succeed and put them in the right place at the right time--and that's something no traditional recording school can say.  You will take our course curriculum which will teach you everything a music producer, audio engineer, live concert sound mixer, etc. needs to know to get their first job in the recording business, while we help you introduce yourself to actual working music professionals who can hire you even before you graduate.

There's No Better Time Than Now

We welcome you to the Recording Connection School Alternative for Audio Engineering and Music Producing.  We feel strongly that we are a reliable, effective alternative to traditional recording schools and look forward to helping you achieve your dreams.  As you have probably heard, we are the school alternative that says NO to overpriced college classrooms and YES to getting YOU trained inside a real recording studio, where you will learn all you need to know and make the ALL IMPORTANT CONNECTIONS you must have to get your start in the music business as an audio engineer or music producer.


Did you ever think that there would be a school that could get you an apprenticeship inside a real recording studio? Recording Connection is not just the fastest,   most effective, least expensive way to learn audio recording; we are also the only school alternative that offers you the opportunity to make real-world connections while you train. 

There is no doubt about it, the only way to have a thriving careers in music is to know lots of people.  And the only way to know people is to get out there into real-world recording studios and  start networking.  Why then would you waste 30, 40, 50 thousand dollars and the next year or two of your life sitting in a classroom when you could be inside a real recording studio tomorrow, learning and making connections, for under $8000?   But don't take our word for it....

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

I signed up with the Recording Connection program after doing a lot of research on other schools.  After I went through an initial interview process with one of their admission counselors, I met my mentor at Sonic Park Recording New York (where I live).  It was rather ironic that my mentor has a friend who sent his son to one of those big name music recording schools  and my mentor said that when the kid graduated after two years, he knew nothing.

I'm currently enrolled in the Recording Connection and have gone through ten sessions.  They are so cool!  I sit in the studio at the boards with real producers and audio engineers.  They also let me go out with them on remote recording sessions.  Last week the gig was at the Yamaha Theatre in New York City, where we recorded the famous jazz trumpet player, Tiger Okoshi.  I made a lot of contacts while I was on this remote location.  I'm a musician too, and when I have my next demo done, Tiger told me to send it to him.  A real musician wants to hear my music!  So I'm already making contacts with real players and other engineers while I'm training.

What I love about this program is that you're not an intern.  I mean, sure I do whatever I can to help out, but they really pay special attention to me and give me the one-on-one time that I had always hoped for.

Thanks, Recording Connection.  I'm 100% happy with your program.  Thanks for doing what you said, and how you said, you were going to do.  And thanks for saving me the $60,000 I would have wasted if I had gone to a recording college!
