We operate with a unique curriculum and mentorship approach that is virtually unheard of in the music production education field at large. The Recording Connection takes aspiring audio engineers and pairs them with mentors who are currently working in the industry.
We make sure that our students have all the skills that they’ll need by teaching them the ins and outs of the recording process, as well as industry standard software programs such as Pro Tools, Logic, Reason, and Ableton. Having a sophisticated working knowledge of these programs qualifies our graduates to work in nearly any recording studio in the world.
The Recording Connection in Oregon has locations in Eugene, Portland, Salem and other towns and cities throughout the state. By placing you in an actual recording studio, we are able to train you virtually anywhere in Oregon, near where you live, or where you want to live.
