Work with Hot Music Recording Artists

Part of the fun of working in the music recording industry is the chance to work with top recording artists and musicians. And there are lots of different careers in the industry. You could be a music producer, or a technical-audio or sound engineer. One quick way to look at it is that a music producer will guide and shape the sound, while an audio engineer captures it.

The music business is trending towards moving online, so it is really important to learn as much about the music recording side of the business as you can. Digital music distribution over the Internet has really changed the landscape of the music business. Music technology has also grown quite a bit. Professional musicians today have to have a good knowledge of it all as well. Much of this technology is software based, and the virtual world means having to be famaliar with software, plus there is still some hardware based technologies. It is both.

Donny Baker is a Recording Connection mentor, music producer and studio engineer at Elephant Symphony in Glendale, California. He likes teaching this school's curriculum, because once his students graduate, they are engineers. Donny is giving input as to the courses because he helps refine the program, and it keeps getting better. Technology is constantly changing but in this industry it is changing backwards. As he says - "we wanna use the oldest best piece of equipment. But then there's ProTools software to learn too."

The Entertainment Connection schools with the mentor approach works, and the best part is that the courses are available in most major cities nationwide - so you'll get a real world learning experience in a New York music recording school or one in Los Angeles.
