St. Louis Recording
Engineering & Arts School

The path aspiring recording engineers once commonly traveled, from intern to apprentice to accomplished engineer, afforded ample education in the nuances of the trade. But today, with advanced recording software widely available, individuals can begin producing without any foundation in the core principles of production, much less the subtle complexities of sound engineering. While this increased accessibility of recording technology has represented a remarkable leap forward for recorded music and music enthusiasts, with its introduction, the art of recording arguably has suffered.

Vatterott College ex'treme Institute by Nelly - St Louis was conceived and developed in collaboration with industry experts as a means to make the practical training methods and hands-on experience once acquired only through internships and apprenticeships available to the amateur enthusiast, and as a resource for the seasoned engineer looking to acquire additional skills or stay abreast of emerging trends.
