Recording Connection Scam – Is It Really True?

Posted on September 7th, 2010

There are undoubtedly a lot of scams out there right now, and it can be tough to tell what is legitimate and what is not. A small bit of balanced skepticism is definitely called for. When something sounds too good to be true, we are warned, it typically is. Regrettably, people also have the tendency to call things or programs that are out of the usual scams when it’s not. If that is how it is then what we have currently may not have been around. At times it is best that you research first on something before making the conclusions and determining whether it is legit or not. Consequently, let us a make a question: is there reality in the Recording Connection scam?

The Recording Connection takes an non-traditional approach to instruction in recording and engineering. Instead of charging the student huge amounts for tuition in order to put them in a learning environment that is different from the real world, Recording Connection charges a small amount in order to pair students with a coach and put them in reach recording studios. They continue to help the student with job placement once the course is finished. It’s not really a distinct approach – it’s a historical one. People have discovered skills through coaching for centuries, even before educational facilities picked up the baton. The Recording Connection’s use of this approach is in direct contrast to that of more traditional schools. However, this fact alone doesn’t make it a scam.

There are two key questions to ask when identifying whether the Recording Connection scam (or any other scam) is real:

1. Is the program useful? and
2. Is it able to maintain its guarantees by providing results?

Regarding the mentor-apprentice set up, to be able to determine its effectiveness all you have to do is backtrack the past. Obviously mentorship works! It has proved its worth before schools were built. According to one mentor in RC, “It is satisfying to see students progress right before my very eyes and knowing that they are understanding a lot of things simply because they get to do the job daily.” They are not bound by books and trapped inside classrooms.”

As to whether the RC does what it says, one graduate from the program went to an interview arranged by the company. I wrote a resume and got the job as an intern almost instantly. The mentor-apprentice arrangement did open the doors for me by helping me land the job and after 2 months of being an intern a job was then presented.”

ProRec.com conducted a meeting with the director of Recording Connection and drew this summary: “I realized after the interview that Jimi Petulla is not one of those guys who are intent on robbing money from people.” He firmly believes in his product, and clearly knows the role he plays. When the interview was done, I was finally convinced about Music Connection being a viable business model that can help shape the internship procedure in to something worthwhile.”

Taking these items into account, there is plenty of evidence to support that the Recording Connection scam is false, but rather, Recording Connection is an revolutionary, legitimate approach to helping people find meaningful careers in the recording business.
