The Audio Engineering & Production Program at Louisville Recording Arts is designed to teach you every aspect of the recording process. Beginning with the basics of multi-track production, to the final apprenticeship in the completion of a professional master, each student can choose to work with some of the diverse artist's listed on our clientele page. We also encourage our students to present their own music to produce while participating in the course, further increasing the depth of each class and personal experience. This private course and lab allows for flexible scheduling, and 100%, totally hands-on instruction. Information on course enrollment can be found here.
