Recording Connection Audio Institute - Los Angeles, California

Tony M.

Hi, my name is Tony and I have a dream to be an independent musician, song writer, and singer in the music industry and now I am in a position that I would've never imagined myself to be in just a year ago and it's all thinks to Recording Connections!

I've gotten to see how real professional studios operate, I've met so many new artests which who I am collaborating with now, I have expanded myself and my methods in music, I have gotten to record artists and even had the chance mix some of their songs, I've even had artists ask me to recreate some of their songs and have me join in on really fun projects of theirs, I have learned so much about sound engineering and recording that I feel comfortable enough to do some of it on my own, and the ebook I received answered all of my questions!

Chris was my mentor you see in the pictures below. This man is most likely your girl's favorite. He is awesome, funny, and focused. He's a really hard worker and good teacher. He was able to answer any question I had and when he did, he explained things so well that I rather ask him about music stuff than going to the internet any day. He also gave the best advice. There were so many times when I've doubted myself but Chris would throw that doubt out the door and make me believe in myself. He doesn't just give the best music advice, but also gives good life advice. He helped me understand things that were so confusing to me at first. If you ever have any questions regarding sound engineering, mixing, recording, pro tools, or anything to do with music and what's happening in the studio, he'll show you and make sure that you understand before moving on to anything else. Big shout out to my boy Chris for being such a great mentor and a good friend.

Jon was my secondary mentor. He was the one that would call me each week to check up on me and see how everything was going at the studio and in my classes. We would also have zoom meetings here and there were we could share and even take over each other's screens to go over stuff that I was still confused about. What better way to learn how to use a DAW than over zoom with screen sharing and controlling. He could literally show me how to do something by taking over my screen! Just like Chris, Jon was a really good friend and mentor. He was always there for me when ever I had questions or doubts, he helped me understand things and answered a lot of my questions. He would help me whenever I was confused about a certain topic in a chapter or project. He was also very understanding that I never felt embarrassed about not understanding something after we've gone over it 5 times already. He made sure I understood what was going on and when ever there was a problem, he would have my back. He also gave good advice in times of doubt and helped me believe in myself. Thank you Jon for being an awesome friend.

I'm sad that it's over. It looked as if it would be a long journey but it goes by FAST. So use every hour of being in recording connections to your advantage. I have had my questions that I have been pondering for years finally answered and for the first time after many years, I finally have my foot in the door and I couldn't have done it without Chris and Jon and Recording Connections as a whole! This is just the beginning of my journey and now, because of Recording Connections, I am full with enough confidence, leverage, and knowledge, to exit my comfort zone and pursue my dreams. I will miss all the fun days and laughs Chris and I had at the studio but I doubt this is the last time we'll be seeing each other.

If you truly want to know more about this school and if it's worth the money, follow my instagram account @fi._gang and check out all the blogs and videos I have posted through my journey with recording connections and my mentors. You can also check out my story template "Recording Connections" to see some more videos and pictures. Take it from me though, it's definitely worth it. This school had exactly what I needed and what I was hoping for.

Thank you Recording Connections.

My Review of the Artist and Producer Program

Kyle Connon

So I just completed the artist and producer program with RRFC and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. I worked with two fellow producers who are, my academic facilitator Sam Zulfer and my mentor Lance “Blaqout” Dean. Both were extremely knowledgeable and helpful, I feel like I gained two friends during this process.With the help from my mentor Lance I gained knowledge on how to navigate thru the intimidating part of the music industry, and all about branding yourself which was something I had never thought of. On top of that his extensive knowledge with using Abletons being able to show me anything I couldn’t understand or figure out was explained and shownn to me, also helped me hookup my own hardware and sync it thru my DAW . Sam my facilitator was the person I spent most of my time with meeting with him 3 times a week via zoom. I couldn’t be happier being linked up with him, Sam along with his extensive and impressive background in audio engineering and studio productions, and impressive knowledge in Ableton, was able to help my productions go from something I didn’t wanna show people to having songs on all major streaming apps and a catalogue of new tracks waiting to be picked up by record labels. He showed me how to turn my music into professional quality tunes. What to hear for in Eqing frequencies knowing what is causing the problem and fixing it. Anything from how to make my melodies more catchy to the tweaks needed to be made in the mastering process. On top of doing all this also sharing back n forth with both Sam and Lance music that we like with one another and just talking music was amazing. So I will highly recommend this school and course to anyone. Thank you to Lance and Sam for your time and effort and for actually giving a damn, and thank you too everyone at RRFC anyone I delt with was very helpful and extremely polite and friendly.

I went to Albuquerque three weeks ago to shoot a short film with my friend, Dan Grochowski. Turns out he'd done a few projects at a studio called EditHouse...which is where we shot our film.
CUT TO: Me editing as we speak. The whirlwind of that shoot at EditHouse went by so fast there wasn't any time to conceive how magical and beautifully everything came together in that single day. From lights to camera to action and beyond, every one these folks were spot on, eager to please and as professional as anything I've ever seen in Hollywood. And as a family owned operation for decades, it makes you wish every place in life was as accommodating, friendly and wonderful to be around. Thank you so much Ed, for a truly memorable experience. Can't wait to see y'all at the screening! Steve Altman

I researched for several years looking for the right school to pursue my passion. When I finally found RRFC, I knew it was the one I had been holding out for. I couldn't have been more accurate now on the other side of graduation.
My mentor, Sam, went above and beyond to help me not only understand the material but to produce on a level I never thought I was capable of. Thank you isn't enough to send to RRFC and my mentor, for the world of possibilities they've helped me open up moving forward!

I really enjoyed my experience with Recording Connection Audio Institute. I took the Ableton Electronic Music Production Class. My online studies for this program was straight forward, directly on point and gave good examples. But what really intensified my experience and made this program so great for me was, having the opportunity to train along side my mentor in a real studio environment. My mentor Mark S., brought this class to life for me. He would explain each weekly task in more detail and provide live in class samples of. Then the real fun starts, performing repetitiously those weekly exercise in studio as well as continuing them at home.The studio gave me that real life experience of being a music producer. Plus the studio provided a very friendly atmosphere me. My Academic Facilitator Dougy R., is very supportive as well. He would always stay in contact with me, made every effort to assist me via email, phone, text and online. He would always remind me that if I needed any help, had any questions or just wanted to have some online fun creating... let him know so we could make plans to do so..

This program was fantastic. I earned my certificate in just 6 months, receiving hands on learning all the way, which I learn way better from. My academic facilitator regularly reached out to me, making sure I had everything I needed, from help with lessons to scheduling 1 on 1 time to help with Pro Tools. My mentor at 35th Street Studios was incredible, teaching me everything in the course work, as well as supplementing my education with tidbits of knowledge he'd picked up from his time in the business. And to top it all off, Recording Connection was super affordable. I came out of the program ready to enter the field without a penny of debt.

I came into RRFC not knowing what to expect, however I was blown away with how much this program has helped me. My mentor went above and beyond to make sure that I was learning every thing needed before the program ended. He also helped motivate me to always have a "why to my what." The six month program was perfect, although I wish I could stay for longer. This time span gave me enough time to learn the process of music making and create connections with my peers. I enjoyed having a mentor that worked with me one on one -- it created a close nit environment where I was able to get help when needed and go into depth on things that I was interested in most. I know that because of this program I will be able to excel in making music and feel confident doing so. Thank you RRFC and a huge thank you to my mentor Gavin!

It's really good environment, My mentor is Mike, he shows me cool crazy things in his Eravox Studio that it takes a long time for me to know if I did not meet him. Also outside the studio, School has people to help you with everything you need in music industry, I luckily meet Alex has helped me improve my mixing skills. RRFC will open the door and show you how to improve your skills and your knowledge, just be ready and put into work
