Don't be fooled: conventional recording trade schools can cost anywhere from 10-50 thousand dollars, plus the cost of relocation.

Establish a strong relationship with your mentor as the Recording Connection program continues.
"Today was the first day of the Recording Connection program where I went to see my mentor. The first thing we did was introduce ourselves, and I was then taken on a brief tour of the studio, shown where each room was, the gear, and the instruments available in my mentors’ studio. We then spent time chatting with each other and getting to know one another. We discussed what instruments we play and the type of music we listen to. I have to say my mentors’ studio is pretty amazing. He told me it took the better part of 5 years to construct the studio. The studio is very well done and my feeling sitting in it was that I am going to really enjoy working with my mentor. With the remaining time left for this day, my mentor and I went over the reading I was assigned by the program. After this, my mentor began pulling up various tracks which he is currently working on just to show me what he is into at the moment, so this way, I could get a feel for the type of work he does. He also showed me tracks which he has written and recorded himself. I was quite impressed with his skills as a musician, equally as well as his production and engineering skills. He quickly showed me how he prefers to save and organize the various tracks he works on so that if I had anything at home of my own, I could organize them the same way to make it easier for us to work on in the future. It was a great first day in the studio with my mentor and I definitely left the studio with much much more excitement for the program, even more than I already had. My mentor and I are getting along very well and I am looking forward to my next session, and having another great day with my mentor."

"I had a very productive session today with my mentor. My mentor had a recording session today, and before the recording artists came in, he wanted me to set up instrumental tracks and click tracks for each song. My mentor and I also spent a good amount of time on operating different compressors. We're going to get more into that next week because for my next session, my mentor wants me to sit in on one of his sessions. He also wants me to set up the drum mics for the drummer and I’m really looking forward to it."
