226 RECORDINGS AUDIO ENGINEERING PROGRAM
The Program
226 Recordings offers a unique audio engineering school inside an active Houston recording studio. The 16-week program consists of
instruction during four 3-hour classes and one 4-hour lab per week. Lectures are accompanied by hands-on training to create a comprehensive learning experience. Students will learn the art of recording music by tracking seasoned musicians during class time. Labs will give students the opportunity to record their own sessions with bands of their choice. There will also be additional opportunities to assist with live sessions outside of class and labs.
Our recording program’s curriculum focuses on recording, mixing, mastering, and production in a variety of genres. The program also includes an exhaustive study of Pro Tools and analog tape recording. Our small class sizes are limited to 7 motivated students per term to ensure a quality experience and plenty of one-on-one instruction for each student.
226 Recordings’ gear inventory is a handpicked combination of classic analog and cutting-edge technologies. Students will learn to combine these elements to capture and create professional sounds. See our equipment list and studio photos to view our full inventory
