Pittsburgh Audio Engineering and Music Production School

There are several PITTSBURGH AUDIO ENGINEERING AND MUSIC PRODUCTION SCHOOLS to choose from, as well as “name” universities you move across the country to attend. You can spend years at these schools, spend six figures, and follow their rules. Or you can enroll in the PITTSBURGH RECORDING CONNECTION programs.

Instead of vying for your teacher’s attention, you’ll be placed in a real-world studio working one-on-one with your mentor. Get answers to your questions when you ask them, work with our Academics Facilitator to set a schedule (you do have a life outside of school, right?), and learn in accordance with a curriculum that matches your needs. You’ll be working in a pro recording studio, with the latest gear, and with actual clients.

Learn About More Than Music

How you work side-by-side with an industry insider, learn to move around a real-world studio, and interact with paying clients is almost as important as the technical aspects of audio engineering or music production. From the moment you meet your mentor, you’ll be receiving opportunities just not available in a traditional educational setting. Will a college professor have a job for you after four years? You don’t want to work at a university, you want to be making money in a recording studio! Consider your Recording Connection education a months-long interview, with your mentor, other audio engineers and music producers, and every artist you work with.

If you've been looking for a way to drastically increase your skill and knowledge of audio engineering then RRFC should be at the top of your list. RRFC has transformed who i am as an engineer, and how i approach music as a whole.
