Has anyone here gone to school for music/audio/sound production, or something of the like? I'm planning on enrolling ASAP, especially if I'm going to be attending during the fall. Clearly, I'm not making any decisions solely based on your input, and I will be talking with several academic advisors, etc. I've been looking at a few different schools, but I'm really curious as to what anyone's input here would be. Thanks! |

some years ago i did an year course for sound engineering at La Scala Opera House in Milan unfinished due to concatenation of causes: lack of interest, problems ect. kinda i did it to open up another job opportunity, but ended up with empty hands for that same reason be moved by passion, an advice |

Golden advice, I would recommend the same to anyone and everyone. It is after all, the reason that I want to go to school in the first place! I am extremely passionate about the production and composition of music, of (almost) all types. It is my understanding that sound engineering focuses largely on the technical aspects of production, correct? This is definitely important, and I do plan on learning as much as I can about this as well (mainly from my production partner, as he will be going to school for this). That said, I plan on mainly focusing my studies towards the creative side of production. I'm also in the U.S., so I'm not sure if the degree descriptions differ over here. Although you did not finish, do you feel the experience was worth it? Are there things that you learned there that would have been much more difficult to learn on your own? Thanks for your input. =D |

Do you know what programs you'll be using morg? I've been using Ableton Live recently, and am really interested in going in depth with Pro Tools & Logic as well. It's kinda funny, there's a Full Sail banner on the page as I'm posting, and that's one of the schools I'm really interested in. My only concern is that it appears their music production course is online only... |

i attended one year at sound engineering school and its pretty nice if you are a sound lover understanding every little bit of the process. i would totally recommend it even if you could learn everything by your own it took too slowly for my interests |

the course you will take sounds cool Although you did not finish, do you feel the experience was worth it? being behind the curtain of one of the most important theatres of the world. watching all those crazy scenographies they use for shows, there was a flag ship made of papet, that was huge. sitting on the golden painted sits they use for presidents. miking the violin of a fine chick that was practising, with her bare feet stretched by tension. it was special. Are there things that you learned there that would have been much more difficult to learn on your own? no. some concepts they tried to cover, especially when they talked about music, and not the engineering of it, i learned them better later by myself. they weren't unable to join the technical aspects and music, they focused on the more job-ish side of the thing (not a complain, thats the one thing i was looking for) which made me lose all interest in miking/mixing/cabling/whatever they wanted me to do. |

That's a big reason I'm going to go. :) Steven Wilson (from Porcupine Tree, one of my favorite bands) is a self-taught producer & sound engineer. I know teaching yourself can be done, but I am also concerned that it would take me much longer to learn everything myself. I hope to still be in my 20's when I start releasing professional grade material (about to turn 22). As you said, I want to understand every part of the process as thoroughly as possible. I'm really looking at majoring in audio/sound production, and minoring in composition. |

I see. Thanks for your feedback mohamed. =D Do you think you would have rather done something more creatively involved as opposed to the experience you had? I fear I would lose interest as you did when I look at the descriptions of degrees for sound engineering. I'm definitely not as passionate about the techniques used for recording as I am about creating the music being recorded. ~_~ |

yes, try not to be tricked down into the sole recoring techniques cos it's a world by itself. and it's full of shit people. go more for the music being recorded, but not cos it's 'cooler', cos it's the thing you should focus the most if you like. i dunno how many things you can do at the same time, but when it comes to this shit, try to have less things as possible in your head, focus on the only one idea you want to actualize, and put everything in it. |
