Recording Schools

Hello Erick
Thanks for the question
There are 2 approaches to get into the music industry, both involve who you know and luck. There are many recording schools out there, that's a good and bad thing. Good in a sense that the education you seek after, might not be too far away. Bad because the music recording school business is getting as big as the music business. Within a couple of blocks from my recording school, there was another 3 recording schools. If you choose to go to a recording school, I recommend first for you to take a tour, find out what the daily class sizes will be, tuition fee, and job placement. If you know someone that owns or works at a recoding studio, try to arrange with them an internship before and after you go to school. Before will help you understand the basics, after will help get your foot in the door for a job. These recording schools cost thousands of dollars, but allot of studios will never be interested in you unless you have an education.

So if you aren't ready to go back to school, you can always make a small studio of your own. With this studio record some freebies. This will help you build up your training, help you network, and find people that are willing to pay. Hopefully down the road you will record someone that will make a hit, that will help further your profile as a producer. 

I can't really recommend any one school, in the end they all teach you the basics that you need for recording. There are programs offered that will get you an internship at a local studio. You pay them. They pay the studio for taking you as someone to train. Hopefully they will teach you more about audio, then how they like their coffee. 

I know I didn't give you a direct answer to your question. I did go to a recording school, and because of that I have a job at a recording studio. If there is a recording school in your area, take a tour and ask lots of questions about what they can do for you. Let me know what you end up doing.
