Here are a few reasons why The A/B School of Audio is the right educational resource for home studio owners:

1) Our courses are designed by someone who has years of experience producing and engineering hundreds of albums of local and national artists in a home recording studio.

Our courses were developed by Steve Carr, owner-operator of Hit and Run Recording, a platinum award winning recording studio.

Steve has taken his more than 20 years of experience using all types of recording gear, recording all styles of music in a professional home recording studio and designed courses specifically tailored for home recordists so that they can get the most from the recording gear they have in their homes.


2) Our recording courses utilize many styles of music
  • Working with different styles of music allows for a more complete understanding of audio engineering.
  • Students can relate to the engineering lessons better when they can relate to the style of the music tracks.
Here are a few of the multitrack musical projects that students will work on during the Engineering Essentials audio engineering course.
Rock Rap R&B Country

3) Our focused courses maximize available resources and technologies to allow students the most hands on time with the recording system they will be using.

Some audio engineering courses, though excellent, can cost from $4,000 to $20,000 and take a year or more to complete. There are a number of reasons for this including:

  • The number of students per mixing board (see right) creates situations where students have to wait to take their turn learning how to operate such mega dollar mixing boards.
  • Audio engineering is a subject with many facets and some schools stretch out lessons covering aspects that have little impact within home recording situations.
As an alternative, at The A/B School of Audio you get a curriculum that utilizes available technologies to allow you the maximum amount of hands on educational learning experience possible. This is because you'll have your own 48 channel mixing board* to spend countless hours perfecting your mixing skills while using the actual gear you'll be making your recordings with.

* Recording systems (computer not included) are available for rental or purchase to students who currently don't own one. Rental prices can be found here.
