Student Testimonials:
GRAMMY WINNER!  "I was a student of AIA in the year 2003. I received a Grammy for the movie "Slumdog Millionaire" and I am now a member of the Recording Academy. I had been working as an Audio Engineer for 5 years before i got to know about AIA. Once i did the course with you, i realized what i had been missing until then - my basics. The core structure of the course was very unique and it has helped me shape up my career as an Audio Engineer and i see the benefits of it to this day. Thank you AIA."
- P.A. Deepak, Visakhapatnam, India - Mix Engineer and Music Producer

"The tone of the writing is easy to read and the course is wonderfully engaging. Everything is easy to understand and straightforward."
- Amanda K. Berger, Poulsbo WA

"GREAT JOB! FANTASTIC! I absolutely love the course and it actually has given me the confidence that i can learn this stuff.  I registered for another course "audio masterclass" and it was so dry and technical that i thought i am just incapable of learning this stuff.  Your course however is made for normal people and also the way it is constructed actually creates a real life atmosphere.  It feels as if i am really in a serious studio working already."
