Definitely. My first day was today actually. My mentor is Klint Macro. He's not a huge name dude but did very well in Cali. He's big on movies (Did work on Dane Cook's Isolated Incident) but he also produces albums. When it came time for a kid, he moved back home to open his studio up so his son didn't have to grown up in the hustle and bustle of LA and it happens to be no more than 25 minutes from my house in southwest PA. He still has people from CA send him work and he's got a loyal list of clientele here as well. Can't wait to get past learning about sound waves and microphones and get down to it! But he's full of information. Not a dime wasted on my part (or so that's how I feel at least) I could have very well used that money for a legit home studio, but what good is that if I can't run it? I'm not willing to take the risk of "self teaching myself on Youtube" and if I decide to try for work in a commercial studio, I have a name to tell them I learned under and a half year of one-on-one studio training to back my resume up.

I dunno man. I can't see why this company has a bad rep with some people. The process to enroll was unreal how easy it was, you can check out the studio and mentor and change if you aren't impressed or satisfied. They aren't out to get your money. In fact, last fall I was going to start, and didn't because I wanted to save more money and I just re-enrolled. Tuition has since gone up 650 to cover books and the M-box for recording..they said since I started enrolling last year, I didn't have to pay that price jump. So it's been great so far and I'm about to start Recording Connection in a week or two. Keep you all updated if anyone actually cares lol nothing about ECC strikes me as a scam at all. I think it's a unique and effective method of learning.

Yeah I could agree with that lol

Alright I tried to stay out of this lol I've seen my fair share of people claiming ECC's scams. I'm not a Film Connection student, but a Recording Connection one..Jimi asked me a lot about my past experience, my intentions, and didn't have a main focus of money at all to whoever said that. He's a cool dude. I got set up with a studio that I love and the mentor is a vault full of knowledge that I can learn from every single day. The enrollment was a quick enough process, and not one thing at all about this school has appeared to be a scam to me. 7,750 too much for what you get? Hey, that's your opinion, man. Could I use that for home studio equipment? Of course I could. Would I know how to work it as efficiently? Absolutely not. It's worth it to me to learn from a professional that people know, learn those techniques and not waste thousands on a studio and not know how to work it proficiently. I have no problem with the money and I have the time to spare. This school will appeal to different people. Don't judge it off it's website lol that's just naive. They got me in the studio, I'm learning, money well spent in my book. That money would pay for...what, about half a year of college? Don't sweat it. If you know how to use all the equipment, or are willing to self teach yourself recording, go ahead and buy a home studio instead. If you want the experience and don't mind going here, I promise you, at least the Recording Connection is not at all a scam. I'll answer any question I can for the nonbelievers. EDIT: Someone might point out my 1 post and think I'm just an ECC bot lol I'm not. I'm getting so bothered by people saying this place is a scam, I joined just to plead my case otherwise. This school doesn't deserve that reputation.
