Jim Pavett created a program that will teach you the fundamentals of sound engineering so you can be a skillful engineer no matter what equipment you are using. Unlike other recording schools in which hundreds of students fight for lab time, the Studio Edge Recording Program is 100% one-on-one, hands-on instruction in a professional recording studio. You learn the theory and then apply it, resulting in a higher understanding and retention of the information.
Other areas of the program take you beyond basic software into the real world of recording techniques applied on diverse software and discrete systems. Learn what a software manual doesn't teach you.
In addition, you will record, edit, and mix multiple projects throughout the program. You will learn the techniques to make informed decisions about what equipment is compatible to do the job you need to get done. In other words, this program is designed to be used for real world applications.
We focus on teaching you knowledge which is cutting-edge. With the knowledge and mastery of our curriculum you will excel in any recording industry job. We focus on the knowledge, and knowledge is power. What you do with it is up to you.
Other schools boast having expensive gear. Learning an SSL mixer does nothing for 99.9% of all students. You can download a user manual to learn how to do that. Our goal is for you to have the ability to get behind any piece of gear and know how to use it effectively.

Our program is entirely self-paced, so you learn at your speed. Our best estimate is approximately 50 hours for the basics. After you complete the basics, we can explore more specific in-depth concepts that apply to your topic of interest.
Whenever you are ready. Classes are taught one-on-one, between the hours of 10am-5pm.
We can usually do 2 sessions a week, 2-3 hrs each session.
All class hours are on-site at Allusion Studios.
Total Cost: $100 per hour for private instuction. * $85 per hour special *
Class 1 requires the purchace of a theory book. Everything else is included and there are no additional lab costs.
Note: Students will be responsible for their gear and must assure that it remains in good condition. Otherwise, additional charges may apply.
We require a deposit via Cash, Check, or Visa/MC/Amex for one month of classes. When that month is up another deposit is required for the next month. This gives you the convenience of smaller spread out payments.
