Located in the British Columbia Province, Vancouver is truly an international city, welcoming artists and bands from around the world. This makes it an ideal location to learn audio engineering and music production–but choosing the right school is an important step. So what should you look for in an educational institution?
As a professional audio engineer or music producer, you’ll need to have an understanding of both the technical aspects of the job as well as an ability to communicate clearly with those around you. The Recording Connection music school in British Columbia was designed to give you a lot of experience in both.
Audio engineers are usually technically gifted and understand how to set, adjust, and operate all of the gear in the studio. This includes digital audio workstations, which are staples for any recording studio. Ableton, Pro Tools, and Logic are used around the globe, so gaining proficiency here will allow you to work almost anywhere.
The interpersonal relationship you have with a client is just as important. The Recording Connection music courses in British Columbia will give you a front-row seat to see how your mentor works with their artists. You’ll learn when to nudge when a nudge is needed and when to sit back and enjoy a perfect take. Eventually, if you progress enough during the course, you’ll take the help of your own session.
This is what so many other audio engineering and music production schools just aren’t able to offer: Opportunities to work with other professionals in a real-world setting. Show your proficiency here, and you can start building a portfolio of work that you can send to prospective employers.
This brings us to maybe the most valuable part of the BC Recording Connection program. Our most successful students often find work in the recording studios they externed with because their mentors already know what they’re bringing to the table. Other studios are also interested in Recording Connection students because they know they’ve learned the right way to engineer, produce, and work with clients.
We also offer a year of career support once you’ve completed the program–what university can offer that? Although the music industry can be extremely difficult to break into, it is also a very tight-knit community. Impress your mentor, however, and you’ll have access to that community. This is a perfect example of who you know being just as important as what you know.
The Recording Connection British Columbia music schools have locations in Vancouver, Victoria, Kamloops, and a host of other cities. So you won’t have to uproot your life to enroll in our audio engineering and music production programs. We also have remote learning opportunities if there is a particular mentor you’d like to work with.
