Established in 2005 by globally-recognized, award-winning audio engineers and producers Chuck Ainlay, Ed Cherney, Frank Filipetti, George Massenburg, Elliot Scheiner, Al Schmitt, and the late Phil Ramone, the METAlliance is a collaborative community that fosters relationships between producers, engineers, and manufacturers in order to ensure the highest standards of audio production. This group, which was deeply involved in establishing foundational music recording techniques and technical standards, has now turned its attention to providing education and inspiration to music creators while promoting excellence in engineering and production. 
Accordingly, in conjunction with Hal Leonard, the METAlliance has begun publishing the collective knowledge amassed by these A-list producers and engineers under the METAlliance Academy brand. The product line includes A/V tutorial courses, print and ebooks, Power Learning Digital Print versions of these books, and in-person workshop events.
