Audio and Music Production Programs
Work with the Stars and Amplify
We’ve told you how you can save time and money by enrolling with the PITTSBURGH RECORDING CONNECTION. How you’ll work side-by-side with an industry insider, learn to move around a real-world studio, and interact with paying clients. All of which can be boiled down to a single word.
Opportunity.
From the moment you meet your mentor, you’ll be receiving opportunities just not available in a traditional educational setting. Think about it: 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!
But if you make yourself irreplaceable during the time with your mentor, how can they let you get away. What does irreplaceable look like? Showing up on time, acting responsibly, working on your skills outside of the studio. It means not only learning how to use a digital audio workstation but putting what you learn into practice.
It means knowing when to make suggestions and when to hang back and let the magic happen. How to work with “the talent,” no matter what kind of music they play. How to prepare yourself for a session, how to set up the mics, and how to bring in your own clients to work.
If you can make the studio money, your mentors will see the potential opportunities you provide. Consider your Recording Connection education a months-long interview, with your mentor, other audio engineers and music producers, and every artist you work with.
