The next cohort of 6 students will begin The Audio Engineering Blueprint on February 22, 2024. Classes will take place on Thursday evenings from 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.

Not all. Some of our students are absolute beginners. These students tend to do very well in our program because they haven’t picked up a lot of bad audio engineering habits.

The majority of our students are adult learners (18+). However, we have trained younger students, as well. Any student who is younger than 18 years of age will have to be enrolled by a parent or legal guardian.

In today’s music industry, there are a number of popular software programs that our students like to use. Our core training is the craft of Audio Engineering, which is the same regardless of the software program used. We will also provide demonstrations and training in Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, and FL Studio. Some of our instructors are also proficient in Ableton Live, Studio One, and Cubase.

It is best to focus on one software program. We understand that students entering our program will most likely have already invested in software. That is why we make sure that we are able to offer training in a number of different platforms.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND BOUNCING AROUND IN DIFFERENT SOFTWARE PROGRAMS. PICK ONE FOR AUDIO ENGINEERING AND MASTER IT.

You don’t need any equipment to start the program. In the first class, we will make recommendations as to the equipment that would be beneficial for your progress and development. The primary equipment that we recommend are a computer, D.A.W. (i.e. recording software), audio interface, microphone, studio monitors and/or headphones.

You’ll want to maintain an excellent attendance record. That is the best way to ensure the stellar results that have realized by our past graduates. However, if you have to miss a class due to work, schedule conflict, illness, etc., the content will be available online (unless it’s an in-studio project or recording). There won’t be any make-up classes, but you’ll definitely be able to stay caught up on the core curriculum.

Yes, there will be numerous opportunities to work on your own music and collaborate with your classmates.

Those students who maintain above average performance in the program, based on certain benchmarks that we rate students on, will have the opportunity to intern or work at our commercial recording studio.  

The music industry is extremely competitive. We believe in our program so much that we know that you’ll be prepared when you graduate.  

In addition, you’ll be provided with general career advisement and resume development. If your desire is to work for other studios or companies in the music industry, you’ll have the general requirements to submit your resume and represent yourself professionally.  

There are no guarantees that other companies will be hiring or will hire you. But, you’ll be 10x more experienced, trained and prepared than you are today.

Yes. We do offer our own unique financing option. This allows you to set up monthly installments for the program.

Once you’ve completed your free strategy session, you’ll be able to learn more about our zero-interest financing option that does not require a credit check.

Our instructors and coaches have a combined experience of more than 100 years in audio engineering and music production. They have numerous gold and platinum records, grammy nominations, and credits for working with some of the biggest names in the music industry, included H.E.R, Lizzo, Post Malone, Freeway, Patti LaBelle, Chris Brown, Celine Dion, and so many more.

Our founder, Samori Coles, began his career more than 25 years ago as an independent artist and music producer. He built Lil’ Drummaboy Recordings to provide other independents with the training, guidance, and mentorship that he wishes he had all those years ago.  

We understand you like no other school does. We know exactly what you need to accomplish your goals.  

There is no fluff with us. You will get hands-on, real-world experience, focus, attention, and training that will significantly develop your proficiency and skills as an audio engineer. We can guarantee this because we have been training music creators just like you for more than 20 years.  

Our school was founded and is headquartered in Philadelphia. The instructors listed above are actually the ones that will be working with you at various phases in the program.

The actual value of our core program is $18,800. When including the bonuses and add-ons, the value increases to $27,090.

However, by taking advantage of our current offer, you'll be able to enroll in the program at a fraction of the cost.

This offer will not last long. Click the button on the page to 'Apply'. You'll then be taken to a calendar to schedule a free strategy session to get further details.

The “SuperSonic” discount is a limited time offer. There is no guarantee that it will be available for future class enrollments.

No. The Audio Engineering Blueprint focuses on the craft of audio engineering. You will be trained to record, edit, mix, and master music and audio projects at a professional level.  

Audio Engineers are the folks in the studio that handle the recording process. They make sure that the projects that they engineer have that major-label quality that is competitive with the music of other artists in the industry.

If you want to learn how to make beats, you can check out our Music Production Program.

Audio Engineering is the process of recording, editing, mixing, and/or mastering audio projects.  

Audio Engineers work in the music industry, film industry, radio, TV, podcasts, live sound, audio/visual departments in colleges and companies, etc. They are sonic anchors that ensure that any of the sound involved in any of these industries is of the highest quality.  

While many of our students have a desire to either work in the music industry or achieve better sounding recordings in their home studios, there are many career options for audio engineers.  

Audio Engineering is a trade similar to plumbing, audio mechanics, carpentry, etc. It’s a specific skillset that offers unique opportunities that many aspiring music creators aren’t aware of.

The Audio Engineering Blueprint takes place in-studio at Lil’ Drummaboy Recordings. We are located on one of the most artistically and culturally rich epicenters in Philadelphia history - South Street.  

Our address is:  

Lil’ Drummaboy Recordings

818 South Street

Philadelphia, PA 19147

Yes. You will receive a certificate of completion when you graduate from our Audio Engineering School.
