Here you'll find some information on a few educational institutions that focus on teaching audio recording. More to come.

Full Sail
Cost: $46,000
A one year private program in Orlando, FL. A catch-all school for entertainment industry programs. While the program touts accessibility, the tuition costs are relatively high, and actual involvement in recording is restricted to only a couple projects in the latter part of the term. As such, there is a rigorous theory curriculum required before a technical regiment is taught, followed by practical use and application. The Recording Arts school is separate from the Music Business program, and it's necessary to enroll and pay fees for both in order to take classes in both. General focus is on teaching specific software and hardware use, rather than teaching practice.

Recording Connection Audio School
Cost: $6,450
No classrooms, no student projects. The school matches you with a mentor, this mentor is a working professional who guides you through a course curriculum as he or she gives you experience with pofessional studio work on real commercial projects with their clients. The course curriculum is designed to get you tangible knowledge and put you in the studio environment where you can apply what you've learned immediately. There are many success stories from alumni. Tuition cost included books. Mentors are nationwide.

The Los Angeles Recording School
Cost: $20,500
A private trade school with a 9 month consecutive program located in Los Angeles, CA. Be advised, it is a recording school, not a music or music theory school. You are trained primarily on the technical aspects of recording, with little practical experience beyond being the guy who sets up the hardware and software. Most graduates we know of get their valued hirable experience after graduating, or through an internship they got while attending. At more than 20 thousand dollars a year, it's also quite expensive for the relatively topical trade-oriented education you receive.
