Proudly, Thirty years as a professional recording studio,
Fiasco Bros is once again offering its annual fall recording course.
This course offers the chance to those who want to learn modern recording techniques
taught by experienced industry professionals, in a comfortable and condusive atmosphere.
With almost all hands on instructing and a small student to instructor ratio,
our course has helped many people into very lucrative positions within the industry.
With Twenty nine years behind us we are a staple in the West Coast music industry.
This course is meant to be 4 months of dedicated instruction mixed
with as many days of hands on studio time a student can fit in in the time.
Usally we pick times that are convenient for instruction, other time is made available
for students to sit in on actual sessions. A balance of information and "learn by doing".
For this reason we only take one or two students at a time.
