REAL TESTIMONIALS FROM REAL RECORDING CONNECTION MENTORS AND THEIR STUDENTS
For
me I went around to different web sites, different stuff, checked out
the big L.A. one. That was way too expensive plus it was actually at a
set location. Where here at Recording Connection you guys would
actually find a place for us that was close proximity and that was a
big plus. Also you get the hands on training from your instructor and
you learn from a book and plus you get to sit in at actual sessions at
your recording studio. So all those I figured can’t go wrong…

The most important thing I believe is to
understand the
person and what’s important to them and what they like because under
the
umbrella of music industry there is so many different jobs and so many
different things that you can do and so you obviously want to try to
make
somebody as aligned as you possible can with what they love and
understand what
they are about. So the way the process starts with Recording Connection
is you
O’Brian calls the mentor, me and says I have somebody who I think is
appropriate for your particular skill set and what you do. Would you
like to
meet them? So the answer here is yes Sebastian came in to my studio and
I asked
what he likes. What he wants to do. And his answer first off was I love
the
recording studio and I love building recording studios and I am
building one
with my dad. I said this is your lucky day because my studio builder
Joe Selvado
who has built a own giant recording, just renovated sound on sound, he
just
built Fiddy Cent's Studio on

The first day of the interview I came in and we were like I
could use a job. Do you know anything I could do o the side besides
this Recording Connection? And Doug is talking about a guy called Joe
Selvado who builds recording studios for every one in New York. And
literally as we are talking about it I think Joe calls us on the phone
and Doug’s like can you come and meet Sebastian? And he is like yeah I
got to swing by and pick up a tool anyway. So. He comes up and I
meet Joe first hand and I send him an email after he leaves and when I
got home and we talk and I go meet up with him in Martha Stewart’s
studio right by Madison Square Garden and boom first day I came, I
work. I worked here already so gimmicks he just said yeah I will start
paying you when you learn the necessary skills. I am in studios, I am
learning about more parts. I am learning more about the other side of
it that people might not even know and the patch pays and the linking
of the wires. Just a lot more in depth than actual; recording
procedures and I have see so many studios already it’s really
overwhelming and they are great. Joe, he is a great guy and yeah he
gave me work the first day. Sebastian Hove - Recording Connection Student

That’s what we really liked when we talked with
Jimmy at Recording Connection because they wanted a place where
students could really learn how to record music and post in real time
with real working professionals in a real studio. In a classroom it’s
somewhat sterile, it’s more of a vacuum and let’s face it, music in
post production is not a vacuum. This is like things get messy. When
you record you are dealing with equipment breakdown, failure artist
attitudes and the students learn hands on. When they come here
they are working with artists almost from the first session. So it’s
quite a unique experience.

To get your assignments, you have to meet one on one, you
have to do
your studies, you are graded and you are tested on your competence in
the studio and that is all very important. One thing I will have to say
is that you really need to be motivated to do this yourself though
because it is flexible and open and it will work with your day job and
your night job. Tommy Fugelsang - Recording Connection Student
