Where are the classes taught?

How are the the Recording Boot Camps different than the big recording schools?

The program was designed to be a very different than any other options out there. Aside from being far less expensive and a much shorter, it is different in several other ways. The workshops are not designed to be internship training, but simply a way to help people make better recordings, regardless of whether they want to do it professionally or simply for a creative outlet. We will not teach you how to be an assistant at a commercial studio, we give you the tools to make the recordings you want to make.

One other big difference is that anyone that teaches a student anything at a Recording Boot Camp (or private consulting) is a full time pro with major credits. Many recording schools use instructors without significant real world experiences.

Do the Recording Boot Camps do Pro Tools Training? (or logic? or Cuebase? or Sonar? ??.)

The Six Day Recording Boot Camps are “format agnostic”, all of the techniques and skills we teach apply to any software platform as well as working with stand alone analog and digital systems. Engineers that master the core concepts of recording and mixing can easily work in any recording situation.

Is financing available?

Recording Boot Camp does not offer its own financing, but accepts all major credit and debit cards through PayPal or Square.

Is it possible to attend Six Day Recording Boot Camp part time?

No. When you are at a Six Day Recording Boot Camp you are living and breathing recording. The programs are fun and intense and all consuming. Courses run from 10:30 am to 7-8 pm.

Is there housing available for out of town students?

Yes, our 6-day Recording Boot Camp at Veneto West provides a shared rental cabin for students.  We can provide students with information about local hotels and various price points for our other Recording Boot Camp programs.  

Does Recording Boot Camp have an internship program?

Internships can be a great opportunity for people looking to learn more about life in a commercial studio. We can offer assistance to our best students looking to get an internship but we do not have a placement program. One note on internships: if you are considering attending another recording program, note that many of them include internships when they calculate total number of course hours. You could actually be paying a school money to work at a commercial business for free.
