Issue #38 – News & Events
by L. Swift and Jeff McQ
When we say some of the biggest names in music are supporters of our real-world, hands-on approach, we’re not kidding around.
The pros that teach for Studio Prodigy are some of the biggest, baddest names in the music industry and we’re glad to tell you, they’re big believers in what we’re doing—getting our students trained one-on-one in a real, professional recording studio where they’re mentored by pros, i.e. people who make their living making music. There’s simply no better, more hands-on way to do it.
Studio Prodigy co-founder Producer/Engineer Ryan J. Hewitt is a full supporter of the Recording Connection. Recent credits include Lady Gaga, blink-182, Angus & Julia Stone, The Avett Brothers, Harry Connick Jr., Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Johnny Cash, Sheryl Crow and more. Other Studio Prodigy Masters include…
Capitol Studios go-to engineer and mixer for many of the biggest names in music, the legendary Al Schmitt has twenty two Grammys to his name. Known for his lush sound, Schmitt’s discography spans the decades from engineering back in the day for Henri Mancini and Sam Cooke to producing and mixing for today’s major artists like Norah Jones, Diana Krall, Celine Dion and Michael Bublé. Other artists include Ray Charles, Paul McCartney, Chick Corea, Lena Horne, Jefferson Airplane, George Benson, Toto, Steely Dan, Earth Wind and Fire and myriad of others.
Engineer/producer Eddie Kramer has worked with many of rock’s biggest names during his five decades in the industry. Credits include The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, KISS, The Kinks, David Bowie, Joe Cocker, Carlos Santana, John Mellencamp, Jefferson Airplane, Anthrax and Whitesnake. Kramer also has numerous soundtrack credits and is interviewed extensively in the American Masters documentary ‘Jimi Hendrix: Hear My Train a Comin,’ which debuted in November 2013.

Multi-platinum works include REM, Miley Cyrus, Jewel, The Jonas Brothers, John Mellencamp, John Fogerty and Hall and Oates.
The Studio Prodigy Master Class Series continues on November 8th and 9th with Session Six: Jim Scott “From the Ground Up” taking place at Jim’s own PLYRZ Studios, in Valencia, California. The two day advanced class will encompass a multitude of recording, mixing and production techniques including the clean, moody and vibey recordings that are markers of Scott’s impeccable sound.
