Advantages, Features and Benefits
Cost: Because we've been in business for more than 20 years, we've already absorbed the cost associated with forming a new school. And now that we are also offering the Online version, we have no printing or mailing costs anymore. Furthermore, we don't have to build classrooms or residential units for our students to live in. • • • We want to pass these savings along to our students.
To be quite honest - we totally believe that most of those high-profile recording schools are just ripping you off BIG TIME! They have dozens of employees whose only job is to manipulate "the system" and get you a huge student loan with which you will be burdened for the rest of your life • • • Don't build up a mountain of debt.
We implore you - just ask some of their graduates. And find out the real truth - how many of them actually get a solid job worthy of all that tuition money they've borrowed? • • • Investigate before you invest.

The Truth About Recording Schools
If you found us through the Internet, you would
have probably found 9-10 other schools. Here is a brief summary of what they offer. These are the facts from their own listings:
• • • Two are huge businesses with no real recording engineers. Both also teach Web Design and Computer Animation! And they are very expensive.
• • • Two are just paid advertisements for equipment retailers.
• • • Some are actually run by engineers but I was disappointed when I read their courses. One cost almost $1,000 and has only 326 pages in it! The AIA course has over 500 pages at less than half the price.
• • • One course claims to have over 600 pages. But they use really large type and lots of blank spaces on every page. Each of their pages contains less than half the information that AIA pages contain.
• • • Another one of these owners brags about being #1 but in all his long-winded talk there is not one word about his experience in an actual recording studio. I asked if he had ever worked as a recording engineer. His answer shocked me! He said, "Not actually, but in high school I once did make a tape of the school band!" His price is as outrageous as his lack of experience!
Our graduates talk about other schools:
• • • I registered for another course "audio masterclass" and it was so dry and technical. Your course is made for normal people. Great Job. Sean Burns - Columbus, OH
• • • I met a guy who says he paid almost $60,000 for his son to go to school at Full Sail - he graduated and doesn't know a third of what I know. AIA is the truth. Talaferrio Tucker, Concord NC 28025
• • • I had a stint with "SAE" way back in 2001. YOUR COURSE KICKS SAE'S BACK-SIDE ! - Amuthan Sundar - Chennai, India
• • • The knowledge I've gained from AIA is worth 50k at "Full Sail" or any other university in the field of music production. Your school ROCKS!!! Ralph Orlando - Carolina, PR
"Subprime degrees from place like Full Sail are typically held in such low regard that it is difficult for grads to find jobs that pay enough to cover their loans" - San Francisco's SF weekly newspaper.
The single most important question for you to ask any school is:
Who is my instructor and how much actual real recording studio experience does he have?
• Peter Miller is not an "ivory tower professor" who hasn't been on a real studio gig in years. Peter is in touch!
• He knows how the music industry operates because he's been part of it since the sixties. And he still is.
• He's made hundreds of records and CDs and built 4 recording studios.
• He's run an independent record label and produced artists for over 40 years.
• Can any other school claim to have a teacher who is actually in the Hall of Fame?
Audio Institute of America vs. The Competition
For the best value and results — a comparison of recording schools
Why spend a lifetime repaying a student loan? Is it worth it?
It is important to have realistic salary expectations. To help you make financial decisions about how much tuition you're willing to pay and how much money in loans you're willing to go into debt for, here are some surprising facts that other schools don't tell you.
MOST RECORDING ENGINEERS EARN LESS THAN $40,000 PER YEAR! And most students that come out of the large recording schools can't even find a job at all.
Training for four years - or even one year is overkill. We can teach you everything you need to know to make great sounding recordings in just twelve weeks.
Why does the AIA course cost so much less than other courses?
• We don't have to pay huge salaries to "financial advisors" who's sole job it is to fix you up with a gigantic student loan. We don't have to equip classrooms and recording studios with tons of flashy gimmicks that you just don't need.
• You will be able to send your songs and mixes to your instructor for a detailed evaluation. Some schools charge extra for this service. We have NEVER charged you for listening to your music.
