Whether you’re chasing a career in the recording industry or simply want to sharpen your skills, you’ll find yourself at home in our collaborative, small-group environment. Along the way, students get hands-on experience with a wide variety of professional gear and software—from microphones and consoles to outboard processors and DAWs.
