maquillado Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I'm always reading your articles not only at keyboard mag but in other publications.You ability demonstrate- how to do it- in such a great detail makes me pick up a guitar or the keyboard and spend hours doing what you just explained and I came out with great music. I was wondering If a should got to the Institute of audio research here in NYC because I want to work in big studios.Since I don't have the cash to rent a place in manhattan to open up a studio.It's fine for me to work for somebody as a entry level engineer/ producer but I know most people start cleaning floors etc.What would you say? volunteer there working with no pay or go to school and get pay $7 an hour?? Also is anybody here that went to that school? please let me know your experiences. My field is DJ/house /progressive/ and also rock and jazz.

evosix Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I've been lurking but can't take it anymore, I have to bite.... Yes, this is my first official post on this forum! I ALSO would like to know what you guys think of these "recording schools" such as Full Sail or MusicTech. I've been producing music at my home studio since Fall 2000. I started with Fruity Loops 3, M Audio Audiophile sound card, and a Shure PE56D dynamic mic. I've since spent every penny of spare financial aid money to upgrade/replace everything to better gear. I love this stuff and would love to get into the industry, but what is the best approach??? Thanks, E6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderton Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I am sorry to say I have no experience with audio schools. When I was coming up in this industry, it was a very different world, where you pretty much had to learn by experience (as I did). I am hoping that people from this board who have actually attended schools can give you some insights. I have, however, done many lectures at schools. At the risk of generalizing, it seems they are good for teaching the techniques of making and recording music, but I don't know if that will help get you placed at a job. The best way to get placed is to write a hit single .

I went to the SAE in Glasgow and have visited their London & New York colleges. I thoroughly enjoyed my experiences there and would recommend them to others who have the right attitude. Going to an audio school will not get you a job. Even after attending such a school you'll probably still be working endless hours at a studio for very little or no pay. If you are ready and willing to do this, you should be fine, but if you expect to walk into a well paid job you'll fail. If you any specific questions please feel free to ask.
