Gregory Hainer Los Angeles Post Production
Background
Recording Connection mentor Gregory Hainer is an interesting case. Usually our Recording mentors work primarily in the music industry but Gregory has made a successful career for himself in music as well as film, television, and video game entertainment as a music composer, voice over specialist, Sound FX designer and mixer on numerous projects including: Plants vs. Zombies 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Guild Wars 2, Prince of Egypt, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, We Were Soldiers, Dishonored, Black Hawk Down, and many more. Gregory does most of his work from Scorpio Sound, his boutique studio located in the Hollywood Hills. His unique skills-set, talent, and setup enables him to do work larger audio studios can’t. “From a client’s perspective, I own the studio, so there is no middle management overhead to worry about because the owner/operator is also the creative head. This means I have the freedom to choose to spend a little more time with my clients in order to get things perfect versus having to be out of a studio by a specific time.” Specialty might as well be Gregory’s middle name. “I get quite a few calls for the most unusual or difficult to design stuff that many in-house teams can’t quite seem to pull off convincingly, such as creating sounds for creatures, magic spells, sci-fi effects, light sabers and the like. But I will also get the occasional call to do the less-fun direct stuff like cleaning up poorly recorded production audio from a film, or digging out inaudible archival dialogue from excessive background noise.” On top of working in the film, TV, and video game industries Gregory also takes on Recording Connection apprentices and teaches them about both the industry and the craft of audio engineering.Articles

Detail Los Angeles Producer
Background
Noel “Detail” Fisher has been behind the scenes crafting the biggest hits for Beyonce, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Jennifer Lopez and more. Producing songs like the Grammy Award winning hit, “Drunk in Love” as well as, “7/11” for Beyonce’. Are just mere pieces of the eclectic producer of Detail+Music Studio whom gave us the heart felt “How to Love” by Lil Wayne, and the melodic “We Dem Boys” by Wiz Khalifa. He connected regions through Drake’s “305 to My City”, and sent good vibes through the globe on Lil Wayne’s “No Worries”. These sonic historic landmarks established Detail as an artist who can do more than just create a hot beat. His songwriting and hookcraft abilities have helped him emerge as one of the biggest and most well-rounded talents in hip-hop today. Detail was first known for being a co-executive on Ray J’s Raydiation, which was his first major contributions on an album. However, times have changed for the Detroit, MI native, “When you’re in Detroit there’s nothin’ to do. There’s no opportunity” Detail explains. “All of the record labels left, and it’s just been a desert. All I could do was ,sing, play the piano and write. I came up from that era of just tapping into all genres of music. It’s not different than having a house and pulling in the person that does the air conditioner and the person that does the plumbing;’ that’s what I’m doing with my music. It’s a household and I’m connecting with the best people to make that happen.” With production in the works for Big Sean and more, Detail is slated to not only be one of the most talked about names in music, but will be defining the sound of our modern generation.

Coke Youngblood heeds the call of Los Angeles
The training is already paying off for Coke, particularly in the form of several music placements on commercials for major companies like Kia and Gillette! He enjoys the challenge of expanding into different genres as different directors ask for different types of material. “Usually they ask for a certain type of style,” he says, “and to be able to do that and give them that and then see it go to screen and have the picture cut through it, it's a really cool experience.”
From an early age, Coke Youngblood dreamed of forging a career in music in the thriving Los Angeles scene. Now, thanks to the Recording Connection and his own passion, he's working to make that dream come true, and he couldn't be happier.
Music Scene in
Los Angeles
Los Angeles, California is the second largest city in America, with a city population of nearly 4 million people, and anchoring a sprawling metro area of nearly 18 million. Besides being the undisputed heart of the film industry, Los Angeles is also one of the world’s largest hubs in the record industry. Most of the major labels have offices here, and hundreds of state-of-the-art recording studios accommodate the needs of the thousands of local acts, as well as national and international recording stars.
Not limited to one particular style, Los Angeles has been on the cusp of nearly every emerging popular genre, from the Beach Boys surf music to punk, glam rock, alternative, hip-hop and thrash metal. The list of noteworthy bands and artists coming out of Los Angeles is nearly endless, ranging from classic rock legends like The Eagles and Stevie Nicks to metal bands like Motley Crue and Metallica, and everything in between. If you are looking at a career in audio as a recording engineer, live audio engineer or music producer, there is no better or more diverse musical culture in which to learn it.
The RECORDING CONNECTION’s advantage over ordinary Los Angeles AUDIO ENGINEERING SCHOOLS is our externship (mentor-apprentice) approach. Rather than put you in a sterile academic environment, we place you with a working industry professional in one of Los Angeles’ many recording studios, who personally instructs you during real-world audio recording projects and gives you exposure to a multitude of other industry contacts. Our revolutionary approach gets you on the inside track, and the end result is that over 70% of our graduates get permanent jobs in the recording industry. You owe it to yourself to see what the LOS ANGELES RECORDING CONNECTION can do for your career.
