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.

Beyond how you learn, and where you learn, you also have a say in when you learn. For a PRO MUSIC PRODUCER, the term “nine to five” doesn’t exist. That means you can still keep your day job and tend to family commitments while you learn with the Recording Connection.

But let’s be clear: This is not a hobby to our mentors, real word DETROIT MUSIC PRODUCERS. This is their profession and it could be yours, too. But you have to want it. We’ll give you a foundation, but you’ll have to take the initiative. You begin to learn when to ask for help, when your mentor needs your help, and when an artist expects your help.

CLOSE TO HOME OR IN YOUR HOME

10 Miles, 10 Blocks, or 10 Seconds away from your future

From Hockeytown to Hitsville, Motown to The Motor City, Detroit has picked up more than its fair share of nicknames. And as one of the pillars of the U.S. music scene, there is also a variety of DETROIT AUDIO ENGINEERING SCHOOLS to choose from. But how many bring you into the studio while you stay at home?

We have multiple mentors in the Detroit area, but we understand that you may not always be able to make it into the studio. And as the Covid-19 pandemic showed us, even leaving the home isn’t always an option. But Recording Connection in Detroit is ready.

For decades, we’ve been offering externs the choice of remote learning. With a fast enough computer and reliable internet access, you can work with any of our mentors. Whether in Detroit, Chicago, L. A., or New York. Want to stay with that Detroit style? When available, we’ll place you in a professional, real-world, DETROIT AUDIO RECORDING STUDIO.

WHAT WE OFFER

Work with the Stars or Amplify Your Sound

In addition to giving you more real-world experience, in less time, and at a fraction of the cost of a four-year university, the DETROIT RECORDING CONNECTION also offers something just not available at those name schools: Opportunity. Are their classrooms open when Dr. Dre comes to work on a track at 11 p.m.?

Of course not. But our mentors are. And where will you be? Our programs are designed to give you a real-world, fully immersive recording studio experience. And late night and early mornings are just part of the biz. That’s when music is made, albums are mastered, and deals are struck.

Now, billion-dollar moguls won’t be coming through those studio doors every night. In fact, they may never come through those doors. But working with up and comers, regional acts, and even corporations will help you build your portfolio and, more importantly, get paid.

It’s a simple equation. You can attend a four-year school and leave with a piece of paper OR grind for nine months and leave the Program with a portfolio of your work, a number of music industry contacts, and maybe even a job waiting for you. What makes more sense?
