These programs provide the ideal balance of creative development and business acumen, offering students the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in the music industry.
Turning Passion into Profession
At MediaTech Institute, creativity meets industry expertise. The Recording Arts and Beat Production programs are designed to help students not only perfect their craft but also gain a comprehensive understanding of the music business—from the technology that powers music production to the entrepreneurship that drives successful careers.
Whether you’re aspiring to become a top-notch producer, a sound engineer, or a beatmaker, MediaTech Institute provides an environment where you can grow your artistic skills and master the essential business strategies required to navigate the fast-paced world of music. The hands-on learning experience, combined with industry-standard equipment and software, will leave graduates with the tools they need to pursue a career in the music industry.
Recording Arts Program: The Foundation of Music Production
The Recording Arts program at MediaTech is ideal for students interested in audio engineering and music production. This program teaches students how to create high-quality recordings, mix tracks, and master sound with the latest technology and software tools, including FL Studio, Pro Tools, and more. However, what sets MTI apart is its approach to blending technical skill with industry knowledge.
Students not only gain practical experience in recording techniques and sound design, but they also dive deep into the business aspects of the industry- all taught by instructors with industry experience. Courses cover key topics like licensing, copyright laws, and distribution, providing a solid foundation for anyone interested in starting a career in music production, audio engineering, or music management.
In addition, the program teaches how to manage client relationships, negotiate contracts, and build a personal brand—critical skills for students looking to make their mark in the music industry. Through MediaTech’s state-of-the-art studios, students are exposed to real-world scenarios where they can sharpen their skills and gain the confidence to succeed in the field.
Beat Production Program: Crafting the Sound of Tomorrow
For those who are passionate about creating beats and electronic music, MediaTech’s fully online Beat Production program offers an immersive curriculum in music production. Students learn the ins and outs of industry standard digital audio workstations (DAWs), to craft original tracks, beats, and compositions.
While many programs focus solely on the technical side of music production, MediaTech goes a step further by providing students with the entrepreneurial knowledge necessary to build a successful career. The Beat Production program is designed to help students understand the importance of branding, marketing, and distribution in the digital age, while also teaching them how to monetize their music through streaming platforms, sales, and licensing opportunities. In a world where branding is everything in creative fields, MTI believes that all students should have these tools in their career toolkit.
From beatmaking to music publishing, students are guided through the entire process of getting their music out into the world and building a sustainable career in the industry. MediaTech also offers specialized workshops to deepen students’ expertise in specific software, like FL Studio and Logic Pro, ensuring that they stay ahead of industry trends and developments.
Hands-On Learning with Industry-Standard Tools
One of the most exciting aspects of the Recording Arts and Beat Production programs is the hands-on experience that students receive with industry-standard tools. At MediaTech, you’ll have access to the same equipment that professionals use in top-tier studios and production houses, including powerful DAWs, mixing consoles, microphones, access to Macbooks, and more.
The opportunity to work with software like FL Studio and Pro Tools—alongside real-world projects—gives students a real-world application and competitive edge when entering the job market. Students also benefit from the expertise of experienced instructors, who have worked in the industry and provide valuable insight into how to succeed as both a creative and a business-minded professional.
