Production School Locations

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.

Lucky for you, the music industry doesn’t run on a traditional timetable. Nor does it run on prerequisites, GPAs, and or a set amount of education academics think you need. Our mentors work to expand on the knowledge you have, improve the skills you lack, and show you what it takes to make a career in the music industry your living reality.

And we won’t force you into a six-figure financial hole or make you commit to four years either. Our programs cost a fraction of traditional “name” universities and take anywhere from six to nine months to complete.

CLOSE TO HOME OR IN YOUR HOME

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

With Recording Connection mentors located in Portland, there’s no need for you to uproot your life and head up to Seattle or down to Los Angeles. And with plenty of up-and-coming talent, as well as touring regional and national acts, there’s never a shortage of clients looking to clean up a track or begin working on something new.

But as 2020 showed us, it’s not always possible to head down to the studio at the last second to meet with your mentor. Or the gym, the movie theater, or live music venue. And while many educational institutions were left scratching their heads when it came to giving students access, Recording Connection was well-positioned to keep the music flowing.

During the past couple of decades, we introduced and perfected remote learning for hopeful audio engineers and music producers. By establishing a curriculum that could be followed alongside your mentor as well as from home, the Covid-19 lockdown did little to restrict student access.

Even when there isn’t a pandemic forcing self-quarantines or social distancing, our remote learning means you aren’t limited to Portland mentors. With more than 250 locations around the United States and Canada, learning from a mentor that speaks to your soul through his or her work is only limited by the power, storage space, and speed of your computer and the reliability of your wifi.
