IN THE STUDIO with ASAF FULKS
Audio engineering and music production school located in the Inland Empire, California and available online worldwide!
IN THE STUDIO you will develop the skills needed to succeed in the professional world of audio engineering and music production. This program offers a unique combination of private instruction and ‘hands-on’ experience in our state-of-the-art studios. You will study our exclusive curriculum, gain real-world studio experience and develop your portfolio during the program. Learn one-on-one from music industry legend and lawyer Asaf Fulks. Build your connections and attend a school in the heart of the entertainment industry.
Our program lays the foundation for a successful career as a music producer and audio engineer. The business of music is a global multi-billion-dollar industry; however, it is made up of a relatively small amount of people actually creating the music. Most industry professionals are doing everything else: working at labels, distribution companies, publishing companies, artist management, promotion, and legal counsel. Discover the secrets of the pros, learn the latest cutting edge technologies, work one-on-one with industry professionals, shadow ‘live’ recording sessions and produce your own projects in our studios. Not only is our school the best preparation for success as a professional audio engineer, but the most affordable as well. Whether you are pursuing a career as an
audio engineer and music producer, or want to improve your expertise IN THE STUDIO is the place for you!

In addition to music production and audio engineering, we teach students about the industry, how to succeed and how to become marketable candidates for jobs. They see first hand what it takes to run a successful studio business and record label, from a legendary pro -- gaining valuable experience and credentials for their resume.
