You don’t have to go into extreme debt to go to Music Production and Audio Engineering School

We can train you in a real recording studio for far less. Play it smart–get on the inside track, and get connected as you get educated. Our audio recording school is a highly effective and affordable way to start your audio engineering career.

Recording Connection understands real life can get in the way of an education, any education. So we just removed that obstacle – along with setting the curriculum, you’ll also have a say in your schedule. You have bills to pay so we won’t make you quit your day job. Fortunately, the music industry runs 24/7, 365 days a year. Together, we’ll find a time that works for you and your mentor.

Our costs – both time and money – are lower than those of traditional four-year universities, too. Our AUDIO ENGINEERING AND MUSIC PRODUCTION SCHOOL runs for six to nine months and will run you just a fraction of those name schools. Our mentors are all too happy to get the next generation of music producers up and running.

Based on Oahu island, in the largest city of the Hawaiian cities, Recording Connection wanted to be able to reach the largest number of people in the state. And while anyone in the Aloha State can enroll in our Audio Engineering and Music Production Programs, we realize commuting from one island to another can make for a difficult commute.

After all, needing a plane or a boat to get to school isn’t necessarily a “traditional” way of getting to school. But Recording Connection, and the music industry as a whole, is hardly traditional. We’ve been offering remote learning for decades, giving students the ability to get the same one-on-one in-studio instruction with their mentor.

It also allows Hawaiians to look for mentors on the mainland, too. We have more than 250 locations throughout the U.S. With remote learning, you get access to any one of them. Los Angeles, New York, Miami, or Chicago – none of these mentors out of reach when you’re enrolled with the Recording Connection.

Featured Honolulu Music Production Mentors on Location or Remote

The Recording Connection offers something no “name” 4-year university or audio engineering and music production trade school can. From day one, you’ll be placed in a professional recording studio and receive one-on-one mentoring from award-winning producers and engineers.

With more than 200 locations throughout 48 states, you won’t have to travel thousands of miles for this immersive experience. You learn what it takes to make it in the music business from the inside alongside industry professionals. This includes recording, mixing and mastering, hardware and software, live sound design, and even business skills.

With a large studio, ISO booth, and lounge area for decompression, the Hawaiian Recording Connection mentor has everything you need to learn how to make today’s music. For more than 20 years, the studio has been working with some of the biggest names in the industry: Neil Young, Barry Manilow, Lil Wayne, REO Speedwagon, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown, Wayne Brady, Kanye West, and even Don Ho.

Because Honolulu is one of the top filming locations in the world, our mentors have also done a lot of work for TV, movies, and other media. Lost, Hawaii Five-0, Lilo & Stitch, Zombieland, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and even the Scarface video game. Solo acts, orchestras, and major entertainment work have all come through our Honolulu location.

In order to handle so many different music styles and commercial projects, you better believe our mentors have the gear to get the job done. Sony digital and analog recorders, a ProTools HD With Apogee 16x converters digital audio workstation, and a wide range of mics and monitors to capture and listen to the music being produced. A Yamaha grand piano, Sonar drum set, and Zildjian cymbals lead the list of available studio instruments.
