If you’re looking for an education that can give you the knowledge and skills to record and “live-mix” music, design game sounds and movie soundtracks, then CRAS is the place for you. CRAS graduates are certified in a broad range of technologies encompassing all aspects of the recording process, giving them a significant advantage in the workplace. At CRAS, we don’t offer online courses because we know that a hands-on recording education is needed to develop a student’s self-confidence and overall mastery. Our certification process means students gain full competence in the basic operation of the hardware and software systems they will use after graduation. Learn the art of audio recording, quickly and without a mountain of debt. If you love sound, make it your career, and BE CRAS! MESACOMMUNITY COLLEGE 1833 W.
