REAL TESTIMONIALS FROM REAL RECORDING CONNECTION MENTORS AND THEIR STUDENTS
For me and just to reiterate the fact that this is a
passion, this is a life. It’s not a job, its not a career, its
not a something you do because you have to do. It’s something you do
because you love it. This is something we do because this is what we
do. This is our lives. This is our passion. I can’t say that enough.
It’s relatively simple. It takes a special person to do this and those
are the special people that come to see us. Those are the special
people that come and hang out with us and we need you guys to come hang
out with us. So bring it.

I think the course curriculum is a good one and there is no
substitute for actually getting in a studio and learning how that
applies. But there is also no substitute for knowing the theoretical
behind the equipment and I think it’s a very good combination. I view
my role as not to be a lecturer and go over the curriculum. That’s
responsibly for the student. I am here to clarify and demonstrate and
bring that for the next level and show people how the theoretical
applies and why it’s important. And I think especially in this day and
age, in an age of plug ins when you realize that they are modeled after
analog circuitry. And that’s why my studio is a combination of vintage
equipment and also plug ins. So if you understand the theory of analog
circuitry its going to make a lot more sense if you see a picture of a
Nieve or a LA3 A compressor on the screen, you will understand how that
was derived. And you will understand signal flow from analog console.
It will make more sense in the digital world. So I think its very good
thing, when you mention the second part of the question, Pro Tools and
modern platforms for music production, there are a lot of choices in
platforms. And I think that it can easily produce something that I call
techno stress. And that is our brains capacity to remember all this
information is limited and can go under a stressful type of feeling
when you feel overwhelmed by information. And that’s an enemy of
anybody who wants to be creative and that is the number one priority I
think to be in this business. You want to be creative. So I think its
very useful to study with somebody who is using the technology everyday
and can help filter out what’s important to know, what’s not important
to know. Direct you to tools that are useful, to minimize the chances
of your brain being overloaded. I prefer to logic, there is someone
that might prefer new , there is someone that likes pure mix, Pro Tools
is clearly an industry standard. Today all platforms can communicate
with one another. So cultivating in a student their own internal sense
of what they like is very important and what better way to do that than
to use the equipment and once you choose a platform you like and of
course the economic sense makes sense to of course have Pro Tools
integrated so you can maximize your participation.

In any industry you have to be a self starter but more so
in the music and entertainment business because the opportunities are
everywhere. You just have to be well in the look for them and be
willing to work hard for them. I feel like if you do have the self
starter and the attitude that you really do want to learn and the go
get them attitude. Like all the knowledge is right here. You have a
person, is working in the industry and making all their money and doing
their job and they are going to give you the opportunity to pick their
brain, get any kind of knowledge that you want. So it’s like where else
can you basically have a direct line to the guy that is making things
happen.

From
day one when I was here as Doug explained with the whole how to keep
your toys, how you keep your studio and everything wings together and
we all start from scratch and build ourselves up from the top and
its, I sit in the big comfy leather couch and I sit and absorb
everything and if I question, he will pull out a pen and a paper and he
will draw it out crystal clear and everything will be explained into I
don’t know the most sensible words I can make sense of And instead of
just sitting in a classroom with 40 students raising their hand if they
have a question, just a quick nod or something. It’s a lot more
personal, it’s a lot more direct and it’s not spaced out at all. It’s
very focused, very sedate. I will recommend Recording Connection simply
because you are in it. I am in a real recording studio in New York City
where real music is made, where everything is real there is no
gimmicks, no tricks, no fake ort anything. And it’s straight up right
in your face and its there. If you want to do it its right there for
you everything. So that’s why I chose this. Sebastian Hove - Recording Connection Student
