Audio and Music Production School in San Diego, California

Not like any other school, this is Audio Education Updated, Reimagined, and Revitalized. Are You Ready to Take Your Place?

We took that old stale classroom concept, rebuilt and upgraded it by putting your classroom in a professional recording studio. Then we emptied out all the other students and left only YOU and YOUR TEACHER (yay for one-on-one learning!) who happens to be a pro music producer (with killer credits) to train you privately (at your pace, full time, part time, nights or weekends available).

Your Journey starts here. Amplify your Life and go to the next Level.

Are you our next Success Story?

How it works

Your San Diego, California MUSIC RECORDING SCHOOL ALTERNATIVE

We hit different and here is why: 

At a four-year university, they decide what classes you “need,” they decide when you need to show up, they decide which professors you have to take classes from. At the Recording Connection, we leave those decisions up to you. What other San Diego audio engineering & music production schools do that?

Just remember: this isn’t playtime. We place you with a PRO MUSIC PRODUCER who will work with you in a fully immersive, one-on-one situation. This isn’t a classroom, this is real life, working with real gear, recording real artists. When you make the decision to enroll in the Recording Connection Audio Engineering & Music Production Program, you need to make a real commitment.

Our mentors and Academic Facilitators (whom you can consider your second mentors) work with you to modify the curriculum to meet your interests, help schedule lesson times around your life, and get you time on the gear that makes music production possible. But how long do you think you’ll last if you’re spending all your time on the phone? Your mentors are here to work, so when you’re in their San Diego recording studio, you better be ready to work, too.

We will submit your music to labels or get you a job in a studio or as a creator.

CLOSE TO HOME OR IN YOUR HOME

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

As one of the top 10 largest cities in the U.S., there are plenty of AUDIO ENGINEERING AND MUSIC PRODUCTION SCHOOLS IN SAN DIEGO to choose from. In fact, the Recording Connection has multiple mentors in the city to choose from, located in the city and surrounding county areas.

Now, consider those other schools. How many of them actually bring the instruction to you? We’re not talking prerecorded tutorials, we’re talking one-on-one instruction with a professional. If you have a question, all you have to do is ask.

The San Diego Recording Connection has been perfecting remote learning for decades. This allows students to access our programs even if they live hundreds or thousands of miles away from the studios they want to learn in. When Covid-19 hit, those other institutions were scrambling to keep pace. Recording Connection set the pace.

All you need is a fast enough computer with enough storage space and a reliable internet connection. No matter if you’re in the studio with your mentor or in your home, you’ll get quality education. Expect to put in the same amount of work too, worldwide pandemic or not.

If you've been looking for a way to drastically increase your skill and knowledge of audio engineering then RRFC should be at the top of your list. RRFC has transformed who i am as an engineer, and how i approach music as a whole.

Recording Connection does a GREAT job at placing you into REAL studios with REAL engineers and opens the door to allow you to create those connections with your mentor, and continual learning. You truly get out of the program what you put in. Another great aspect of the program are the virtual advisors that can help you with question regarding Pro Tools and other material as well. Much props to Alex Solis for helping me through the program!

After being a musician for a couple of years, I've decided to take my music skills to the next level. I was very fortunate to have landed in Recording Connection, they helped me out since day one with my registration, and any paperwork needed. I was placed at ES Audio Studios in Glendale, CA. My mentor at the studio, Donny B. is very knowledgeable. He helped me through the process since the beginning. He helped me pick a great laptop suitable for Engineers. I had no clue of the existence of any DAW's, and after a few months of spending time at the studio, asking questions, getting a hands on experience, and doing colabs with other students/engineers I now have the privilege to be a professional. A huge thank you, to all who helped answer my questions and helped me grow as a professional engineer.

I had a very good experience with Recording Connection and my mentor Donny Baker from ES Audio Recording Studios. He taught me the things that I need to know about being an engineer/producer and to always be prepared for the gig and to keep the gig as well. I learned a lot from my mentor, other students that are more experienced, my Academic Facilitator Jon, and other engineers that worked there. I thank everybody that has helped me through this journey and will use the advice that has been given to me to improve as an engineer.
