GREAT JOB! FANTASTIC!
I absolutely love the course and it actually has given me the confidence that i can learn this stuff.  I registered for another course "audio masterclass" and it was so dry and technical that i thought i am just incapable of learning this stuff.  Your course however is made for normal people and also the way it is constructed actually creates a real life atmosphere.  It feels as if i am really in a serious studio working already.  GREAT JOB!! Sean Burns - Columbus, OH

MEGAPROUD!

Just wanted to say thank you for the certificate! I feel so very mega-proud of it, and will frame it up on my home studio wall as soon as possible! Once again, i appreciate you and the entire AIA team for such an amazing, well put together course. My audio production career has truly taken a quantum leap forward for the better. I will make sure i tell all my music producer friends to enroll this wonderful course! Thanks ever so much, Mr Miller, you've been a true inspiration to me. Kindest regards Dr Oluseyi Ayankogbe, Lagos, Nigeria

"WORKED WITH VAN MORRISON AND SNOOP DOG"
I took your course and graduated in 1996. I loved every minute of it! It has helped me to land several very big live and recording jobs. I have enjoyed some great success these last 15 years and have worked with the likes of Van Morrison, Buddy Guy, George Strait, Usher, Snoop Dog, and many many more. I literally have a list pages long. Thanks, Tory Robertson - Dallas, TX

"FOR THE MUSICIAN" 
This course is just what I have been looking for. It is an affordable and comprehensive program with which I can set my own schedule. It is not only good for persons seeking employment as a recording engineer, but also provides excellent information for the musician recording in their own home studio." J. WILKIE BROWN, Chamblee, GA

"REALLY WORTH IT"  I would like to say that the audio engineering course that i studied with AIA was really worth it. Every now and then I continue reviewing it over and over specially for the times I am into sound reinforcements setups. I say thank you once again for the wonderful knowledge you are sharing into the music industry. I am recommending your on-line course to my students who are really interested with audio engineering. Lou-Riz Garcia, Singapore

DOES RADIO & TV COMMERCIALS

"I own a MIDI recording studio where I compose radio and TV commercials. This course is a God-send to me. I now sit behind my console with more confidence. The quality of my recordings is getting better with each new project thanks to AIA. Sincerely." HENRY A. MOSS, Nassau, Bahamas

I WAS A HUGE SPONGE

"So there were schools that wanted all kinds of money, and I figured what am I going to learn at that price. Then I found out about the Audio Institute of America. After four or five years of mixing everyday with mixes that just weren't (right) I opened the manual that had all the answers to what I was looking for. After looking around on the internet trying to get that sound that I knew in my mind, when I opened the manual, I was a huge sponge. It solved the problems that I was looking to solve. THANKS so much for a Great Course. Dean Morrison Venier -  Moose Jaw, Canada".  

FRAMING HIS DIPLOMA 

"I’ve received the diploma – thank you very much (it looks really good).  It’ll be framed soon and hung in my studio :-) I also want to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed studying your course – and how much it actually helped me understanding the myths of recording and mixing.  I was able to implement a lot of new procedures in my own musical projects. This course will most ce rtainly help me running my own Recording Studio which I plan to open in spring of next year.  The binder which contains the course will always have its spot on the audio bookshelf in my studio – always an arms reach away.  It’ll always be very handy to look up certain procedures, explanations or other important things that might have escaped my memory".  Heinz Karnitschar, Edmonton, Canada

GOT MY MONEY'S WORTH

"Everything is better than expected. As a producer, I am more than a little sensitive to the outcome of my projects. On one occasion I felt I had gotten my money's worth from just one valuable technique. By the end of the course, I felt I had gotten my money's worth hundreds of times over." DAVID E. NAILE, Pinellas Park, FL

TV MUSIC SUPERVISOR

As a 1997 honor graduate of AIA, I accomplished more than expected, working as music supervisor in TVR - the Romanian National Television. Of course I tell everyone about AIA - it's in my curriculum. My gratitude and best regards. ILIE VORVOREANU, Bucharest, Romania.

PROUD OF MY DIPLOMA

"I do not regret taking AIA's course, it is excellent. I will heartedly recommend it to everyone interested in really learning about the world of sound engineering. I have built my own 24 track studio, following the advice from AIA. I have already engineered two singles, 10-12 demos and now working on CD production. My studio will be the leading one in the North Norwegian market. I am proud to be the owner of a diploma from AIA." IVAN TZATCHEV, Tomasjord, Norway

 THE  JOURNEY  HAS BEGUN . . .

Having completed my course, I am feeling on top of the world. Thanks to you, I have been able to achieve what I had always dreamed of. The sequence of the lessons is spot on. After the third part I could easily have made the decision to open up my studio then and there, but my wait to finish all 5 parts has paid off. Now I am much more confident in deciding what I exactly need and what I don't. It's been AIA that has changed my life. The journey has begun . . . Sudhir B. Khollam - Maharashtra, India

EMPLOYED AS ENGINEER

"After completion of your course I became employed as an audio tech and 2nd. mastering engineer at an audio company in my home town. The AIA training has paid its dividends and I'm sure it will provide valuable information in the future as I expand my recording endeavors." CHRIS WOODS, Fointian Inn, SC

WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE

"As recording technology constantly changes, buying the wrong equipment, or not fully understanding the gear you work with can get confusing and expensive. This is why I first became interested in the AIA home-study course. After completing the course, I heard a significant improvement in my recording projects. I've now produced many masters with local clients. The info has been most reliable and useful. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in music production." CARL P. CATALANO A.A.S., Hialeah, FL

EASY AND INTERESTING

"I find the course easy and interesting. Recording engineering is a mix of science and art, sounds and creativity, physics and electronics, anatomy of ear and feelings! I think it is a good and well-informed course. Thank you."DELFINO HERNENDEZ, Mexico City, Mexico

DOING SOUND FOR FILMS

"After completing your wonderful course, I felt more confident about my abilities as engineer. I save much time and money at the studio recording my own material. I am currently doing sound design for an upcoming feature film. I owe it all to AIA."GEORGE MELENDEZ, Chicago, IL

BUILDING HER OWN STUDIO

"I constantly flip through the lessons and pick up something new. It's very rewarding to be able to apply what I've learned to my own home portastudio set-up. I'm now making plans to go full speed ahead and build a professional 16 track facility. Thanks for your advice on which equipment to buy." LORNA JOLLIFFE, Miami, FL

ASSOCIATION WITH THE BEATLES

"I'm really awed by your association with the Beatles and Rolling Stones. I know as a teacher you're trying to play down these famous connections but your experiences from those years really sparkle in the course. In the past few weeks I have recorded two live bands. I am now mixing the tracks and hope to sell the completed CDs at the next show. Thanks for your terrific course." STACIA LEE, Los Angeles, CA

RECORD ON THE CHARTS

"Please accept my thanks for your very well designed audio course. I am a professional musician of about 20 years experience and I find the course most enjoyable and useful. I recently produced two singles, one of which is on the National Charts at No. 6." C.D.M. KIRATU, Nairobi, Kenya

HOLDS AIA IN HIGH REGARD

"I have found the material in the training manual to be very informative, well balanced, and easy to understand. The subject matter in the various chapters is very detailed. I hold the Audio Institute of America in high regard and tell people about the Institute every chance I get." JOHN FAULKINBURY, Big Bear Lake, CA

DOING A GREAT JOB

"I think you guys are doing a great job. I have been hired in a recording studio here in Ottawa. The owner of the studio has looked at my course and has had nothing but good things to say about you and the people at AIA. He has allowed me to put my diploma on the studio wall. All I know is that it was the best thing that I could have done, enrolling in AIA. I get up each day looking forward to that next session."TRACEY PROVOST, Ottawa, Canada

LIVE SOUND ENGINEER

"I am very satisfied with this course. It has got everything you need to know. I now help a local band on their gigs as a live sound engineer, they trust me totally because of my skills. I am also building my MIDI home-studio, which I'm planning to expand to a professional 24 track studio in the future." MICAEL JOHANSSON, Karlsborg, Sweden

This course was very important to me because I had opportunity to improve my professional life and actually I can use this in my home studio - Luiz Carlos Mazzgi Filmo - Sao Paulo, Brazil

KNEW IT WAS A WINNER

"As soon as I saw the course material I knew it was a winner. Obviously it is the work of many years experience and thoughtful planning. It is just incredibly thorough! Apart from the sheer volume of information - a five hundred page manual - wow! - it has really improved my sensitivity to music and the art of recording it. The course has opened up many interesting recording projects. All in all I was just delighted with this course. Great stuff! I thoroughly recommend it. Excellent value for money."GRAHAM HORNE, Te Awamutu, New Zealand.

ENGINEERS CALL IT "A COOOL BOOK"

"I got started in the Philippines with your course and I am now working in New York. Unfortunately people tend to be skeptical of a home-study program, nevertheless, working engineers consider it a "cool book!". It is one of my main reference sources when I need to refresh my memory or to prepare for that unusualsession." OCTAVIO MELO, Manila, Philippines

A "USER-FRIENDLY" PACKAGE

"I find this course very effective in providing a broad spectrum of knowledge and practical tips. I thank you for the opportunity that AIA has given me to enrich my knowledge in this field. The course material and Action-Audio CDs provide a "user-friendly" package. I'm sure that in times to come I will refer back to this course in the fields of recording and sound reinforcement." JAN P. de B. OTTO, Capetown, South Africa

AN ENJOYABLE SECOND INCOME

"I can't thank you enough for offering this incredible course. I've recently recorded several demos with a band and I'm currently doing a few other recording projects. The section on microphone placement alone is worth much more than the tuition fee. I highly recommend this course to all musicians who record. With the knowledge from AIA, one can improve his or her recording techniquesplus make an enjoyable second income. Thanks AIA."PETER LAM, Sask. Canada

These letters come from people like you who had an interest in recording. We are proud of these students, and their comments show what can be done by those who set their goals high and go after what they want.

REPUTED FIGURE IN RECORDING

My name is Madawa Hewawasam and I am from Sri Lanka; a country where professional recording schools hard to find. I completed your course in 2004 as an honor graduate. I have to admit I have become one of the reputed figures in the local recording industry; working as a freelancer in few leading recording studios in Sri Lanka while being employed as a recording engineer in a self owned studio. For the past few years I have engineered over 200 local mainstream albums which most of them are best sellers and the AIA course has been the launchpad for my success providing me with a valuable knowledge of tips & tricks of the trade.

AIA IS THE "LEADER OF THE PACK"

The course itself was terrific and Peter has mastered the technique of making the student believe in him or herself. It was the "kick in the ..." I needed to achieve my dream of becoming a Recording Engineer. - Prunella Paisley, Studio Manager, Digital Salutations

Am really glad I took course,has helped me understand a lot more than what i knew, is simple and easy to understand and learn will PG be of benefit to me in my music profession - Leora Shear, Edenvale, South Africa

I especially like the fact that the course covers mic techniques and advice for recording not only the instruments that are most used in popular music but also classical or more orchestral   instruments. My main goal is not to become a recording engineer but a composer and performer able to produce good quality recordings of my own music and I have a classical music background.

This is a really in depth course, but this course has already been very helpful for me, as a composer and performer, to produce better recordings and demos. I´m relatively new to recording and music production so I´ve also been studying a music production course specific to the sequencer that I use, Logic pro 9, so now I´m able to directly apply what I´m learning on the AIA course to my sequencer.

Best Wishes and thank you for this wonderful course. Catia Louro - Portugal

I think your course is great!.. it teaches JUST the necessary.. Very technical and interesting. I've learned so much. Thank you. Jeremy Gabriel Silva Green - Asuncion, Portugal

Thank you for all that was taught, it was invaluable to me starting my own independent record label that has already produce 5 albums and 4 mix tapes and numerous singles for other artists. As a DJ I thought I had extensive knowledge about engineering and producing, AIA  took me to the next level. The knowledge I gained  through AIA made it possible for me to produce musical products that went straight to major radio stations in Atlanta Georgia the next day after it was released and are now being played in Europe. AIA will help any aspiring producer or engineer achieve their goals, mine is a Grammy nomination and I actually think I have one or two now. Thanks AIA for excellent training!  David Jennings — Midland, GA

As regards the course, I'm totally and immensely enjoying it! The depth of information contained in it and the way you present it are really re-shaping my audio recording paradigms!  I am suddenly aware of so much more in the audio world, and I pay a lot more attention to certain details now. and I'm not even halfway through yet! knowledge is indeed power! Best regards Oluseyi Ayankogbe, Lagos - Nigeria

You have given me something that I so desperately needed and that is you have restored my faith in myself and my fighting spirit and will to reopen my record table and studios and start once again to rebuild the successful music composition,production company I owned. Thank You for your great course and all the knowledge I gained by studying it. I commend you for putting such an informative and well laid out and easy to work with course.  Here in South Africa I was in many bands and made many albums etc singing and then branched out to composing,producing for other artists Danny Sims from the USA who discovered Bob Marley the late and great,Amir Bayan who produced a lot of the late great Michael Jackson's Albums as well as many other well known artists,jingles for radio and TV ( great royalties) I will persist in getting back into the music industry and with more success in every way and also to show you that your course has helped a very disillusioned girl who had lost all hope of ever making it again, regain faith and positivity and a sense of achievement through your course

I will do my best to promote your course to other aspiring talented music addicts who want to get into the industry. Again I Thank You most humbly and gratefully and PG you will see the fruits of your labour through my work in the near future. Best Regards Leora Shear - South Africa

I just want to thank you so much for what you and your course have done for my daughter.  You cannot begin to understand the difficulties she has had to overcome in pursuing this course - being in constant pain, not being able to hold her food down, constantly tired and fighting, fighting, fighting.  She believed in your course and she believed in herself, and her success has boosted her self-confidence so much.  I am very grateful to you, and to your genuine dedication in providing an accredited course of high standard and significance in the audio world.  You have opened up a new door for Leora. — Stan Shear

Your course is laid out very well. I appreciate the humor! The illustrations are very good, as so many don't know what a lot of the vintage gear is or looks like. The audio/visual sections are great... Make me think I should change my position on staying away from pro tools. nuendo, etc. Our approaches differ somewhat, as far as getting drum sounds, but as learning so much anyway! I appreciate the depth you go into each piece of equipment to explain what is normally taken for granted. Craig L Rockett - Birmingham AL

I graduated from AIA in the early 90s. After I finished I started working as a recording engineer and producer, built my own studio, and went to work on a Grammy winning recording. Currently I'm pursuing a Doctorate in Jazz Studies at the University of Northern Colorado and also work as the Graduate Assistant of the Music Technology Department. I thank you for everything what I learned from you and for the inspiration I got from being enrolled at AIA. My name is Socrates Garcia - Colorado

I am very pleased to inform you that  reading and answering the Diploma in Recording Engineer Course has helped me a lot in my day today music compositions and arrangements. Today I feel more knowledgeable about sound while seating amongst my musician friends. AIA COURSE HELPED ME LOT TO IMPROVE MY SKILLS OVER RECORDINGS, MIKINGS, USING EFFECTS AND PROCESSORS AND KNOWLEDGE OF SOUND ENGINEERING Regards, Sidhanath Buyao - India

I have enjoyed this course and I have learnt plenty. You are a good teacher and your writing, audio and  videos are really good and clear. Thank you for teaching me and showing me the way to do this job thank you very much . Now I am trying to set up my studio and practice what I have learnt from you. When I can do many things then I can start to put the sound proofing and create the studio style. I would like to keep in contact with you, because you are always the master engineer. Thank you .

Foday Camara, Venus Bay - Australia

Amazing material! - Paul Beaudry, Ottawa, Canada
