So you enjoy music production? Maybe you’re in a band and you really wish that you could achieve more recording on your own; after all, you’ve got the ears right?

There are plenty of stories about artists who hole up in a cabin in the middle of nowhere to discover their inner inspiration. In fact, solitude can sometimes be just what the ol creative pump needs.

That’s right, you can’t. Have I gone crazy? Isn’t our program 17 weeks? No I haven’t gone crazy and yes, we do have a 17 week program. But what most people say when we say you can learn audio engineering in 17 weeks is, “You can’t possibly learn everything.” They are 100% right. Our instructors […]
The title engineer is typically associated with someone that can completely control any aspect of a trade. Engineers are typically stereotyped as incredibly intelligent and problem solvers. So why give a guy that sits behind a board pushing faders and setting up wires an engineer? Because a great audio engineer knows not only the mixing […]
