Full Sail began in 1979 as a recording school; though we’ve grown over the years to include many different aspects of media and digital arts education, our dedication to studio production and audio engineering has never wavered. But just as the Full Sail of today is different than the Full Sail of 1979, the areas in which recording arts skills can be applied have expanded as well. Beyond just teaching you how to capture an artist’s sound in the studio, Full Sail’s Recording Arts program is a thorough, constantly developing curriculum that encompasses analog and digital recording, music production, and audio postproduction for film, television, and gaming. From acoustic principles, amplification technology, and signal flow, to signal processing, MIDI techniques, and sound effects design, we cover the many different procedures and applications found in the recording arts world. Through hands-on time with the same gear found in some of the finest professional studios, you’ll gain the confidence and skills needed to succeed in these environments post-graduation.
In addition to music production skills and techniques, you’ll also study subjects like music history, songcraft, industry standards and etiquette, communications, entertainment business and law, and other real world skills that will help prepare you for your first step into the recording industry. To help you make that transition, we’ve also got a team of Career Development professionals that will help you polish your interviewing skills and resume and get you ready to enter the industry. In addition, our Career Development services and advisors will be available for support and assistance throughout your career – not just during your time on campus.
