Former Recording Connection student-turned-mentor Matt Collett, along with business partner Colin Motlagh, recently completed construction on a new deluxe recording studio, The Garage, in Savannah, Georgia. The ambitious project took six years from concept to launch. Along the way, Matt even took a job working for a local electrician company and ended up wiring his own studio himself. The goal: to serve the community. Matt says, “The whole point, really, was to set up something that served the community but also gave us a professional studio to be able to use with less overhead. We’re not, by any means, really profiting off the local bands. Basically the whole operation essentially just sustains itself and then the studio is really the X-factor… It was important to us just to set up a really stable model [so that] we would not have to…capitalize on local bands and the culture. That wasn’t the idea. It was really to supply and fill a need, but then allow us the resources that we need to now do bigger projects.” Amazing work guys!    Add Article ‹ RRFC News — WordPress.htm Recording Connection apprentice Shawn Hoefer of Baton Rouge, LA is following through with his passion for audio by getting solid audio skills with mentor Devon Kirkpatrick at Sockit Studio! The husband, father and volunteer firefighter says, “I started getting into doing voice over work and wanted to learn more (as I always do) so the technical side of Audio started to appeal to me….Now I’m hooked and taking the next steps toward what I hope will be a very rewarding entirely new career!” We say, go, go, go Shawn! Follow your passion!
