​FINGERSNAPS MEDIA ARTS IN THE HEART & SOUL OF THE MISSION DISTRICT SAN FRANCISCO, ENVISIONED AND FOUNDED BY DJ LAMONt.

4worldlovers:
From the Summer of Love and The Grateful Dead to the emergence of Rap and Tupac, San Francisco is one of the most important and influential cities for creativity. From Haight Ashbury to The Fillmore, absolute legends have spent time in the city by The Bay.

Just like musical tastes and recording gear have changed during the last 50 years, so has the way recording, editing, sound design, and electronic music production is learned. Instead of a classroom with double-digit students, the Recording Connection MUSIC ENGINEERING SCHOOLS IN SAN FRANCISCO will place you in a real-world recording studio alongside an industry professional.

Working one-on-one with a mentor (instead of elbowing for attention in a classroom), the Recording Connection MUSIC PRODUCTION SCHOOL creates its curriculum based on the day-to-day operations of a real-world recording studio. We give you the tools of audio production, sound engineers, and live sound to give you the foundation you need to start a career.

The SAN FRANCISCO RECORDING CONNECTION also changed how long it takes to get this education as well as lowering the price tag. At the traditional big-name Universities, all you get after four years is six-figure debt and a piece of paper. With the Recording Connection programs, you may already have three years of recording industry experience in the same amount of time. What makes more sense to you?

RIGHT NOW!. Our San Francisco Recording Connection students are learning in pro recording studios and learning directly from the producers that have recorded these bands….

Build your music production and audio engineering skills by learning with an industry professional near you.

As such a large, international city, there are many SAN FRANCISCO AUDIO ENGINEERING SCHOOLS to choose from, including three Recording Connection locations. For many institutions, the Covid-19 Pandemic forced closures with no real alternative ways to educate.

The Recording Connection, on the other hand, has been remotely teaching for years. With changing technology in the music business, acts have been able to work remotely with music engineers and audio engineers for decades. Why not offer flexibility to students who may be too far away from an in-person education or want to social distance for safety? The Recording Connection does.

While San Francisco may be a world away from Los Angeles in many ways, there is one constant in the music industry: Who you know may be more important than what you know. And although you will learn plenty during our AUDIO ENGINEERING MUSIC SCHOOL, the benefits of communicating with touring stars, their music producers and engineers, and other industry insiders are immeasurable.

During these opportunities, how you hold yourself, do your work, and take direction will go a long way to determining your musical career. Make sure they remember your name for all of the right reasons. These opportunities just don’t present themselves in the standard university class or trade school.

But they do at Recording Connection. This is your life – why not give yourself the best shot at building a career in music?

Yes, we have over 4000 positive reviews. Our students value the impact our programs have on their future. You learn from the best.

We were thrilled to get this message recently from our wonderful Little Bears teacher Michael Chulada: “I thought you’d like to know, last Wednesday Hamilton Families Charity had a volunteer and partner appreciation event and they chose our program to acknowledge! They called me up and gave me a plaque and a tote bag decorated by the kids! It was a very touching experience! They are very grateful for the program, so we are doing some real good work there!” Thank you, Michael, and thank you Hamilton Familes!

4worldlovers: We offer custom, boutique DJ services for the discerning music listener.

We honed our chops in San Francisco's indie dance clubs with award-winning theme parties across a range of styles and eras — all presented in a classic, mixed-genre format guaranteed to keep the party moving, even when you thought moving to that style of music wasn't even possible. Basically we can make your grandma dance to anything.

Would you like a wedding that's all shoegaze? We can do that. Really into sixties folk this week? Check. Your family likes country? We'll figure it out. After 15 years playing records in the San Francisco independent music scene, we can do just about anything - old or new - and make your family really like it.

With each of these nights, the specific nostalgia they’re evoking is still fairly fresh, even as the tracks themselves have grown dusty.

It’s a pleasant surprise to find that they treat that era’s hip-hop and R&B with the same respect to detail and back story.

It’s basically the best thing going until someone stops being lazy and invents an actual time machine.

A dynamic spectacle... He’s a natural showman with a highly theatrical style... His mixes were seamless.
