The Recording & Engineering Program is a six-month immersive path for people who want to become confident, session-ready engineers. You’ll learn signal flow, microphone technique, Pro Tools, recording, editing, mixing, mastering, troubleshooting, and professional studio workflow through live instruction and hands-on practice.
Dive deep into the world of audio engineering with lessons that cover everything from signal flow and mic placement to advanced mixing and mastering techniques. Learn in a hands-on environment where you’ll apply your knowledge in real-world scenarios.
Get exclusive access to a wealth of internal and external events. Learn directly from the best and gain insights that can help you stand out in the competitive audio engineering field.
Don’t just learn from instructors—get access to real-world advice from industry professionals who are eager to help you. Whether you’re working on a specific project or seeking guidance on your career, our experts are just a question away.
Gain real-world experience by applying for paid sessions and projects with us and our sister schools. This invaluable opportunity allows you to build your portfolio, enhance your skills, and start earning while learning.
Access our state of the art LMS where all of your grading, quizzes, community and student resources (documents, cheat sheets and videos) will be located.
Phase 1 consists of the basic fundamentals and is when you’ll get acquainted with our DVLP Method. You’ll learn the basics of sound and then begin to understand what every button does in Pro Tools.
Phase 2 covers advanced fluency of the DAW but also covers everything that is recording. We’ll talk mics and preamps and get used to the workflow of recording.
In Phase 3 you will be fully immersed in being a session-ready engineer, which means you’ll need to learn how to mix. We have a 6 Step process that will get you mixing records in no time and we’ll get our hands on gear.
Phase 4 will be where we learn how to master. We’ll also learn post-production (audio for video) as well as Branding & Marketing so you can build your own business.
Our fifth phase of the Program is our Engineering Proficiency phase. You’ll be tested at everything and shown how to troubleshoot, develop your own personal workflow and get ready for Phase 6.
Phase 6 is your Final Project. Find a band to bring in and record. You’ll need to take at least one song of theirs through all steps of The Method.
Stay consistent around instructors and peers who know your goals, challenge your growth, and help you finish what you start.
Learn from people actively producing, engineering, performing, and building careers in music.
Spend less time collecting information and more time applying it through projects, sessions, feedback, and repetition.
Train with current software, professional studio systems, and workflows designed to prepare you for real creative work.

You are not learning audio engineering from the sidelines. You’ll train inside a professional studio environment, build repeatable workflows, receive direct feedback, and practice the habits that make an engineer useful when a real artist is in the room.
Throughout the program, you’ll build technical fluency, studio confidence, and the professional judgment required to move a project from setup through final delivery.
Education gives you the knowledge. Repetition gives you the instincts. The DVLP environment is designed to give you both.
