edm and uni

are there ne courses that would have nething to do with producing trance type music n learning about the industry etc etc? if so what r they called? n what uni?

I would say, music theory courses would be most useful. Learning chords and chord progressions and harmonies or whatever

I don't think you could really do this kind of thing at a university, unless you had a good tertiary entrance grade and a music experience at high school. Just look around for some private courses.

Fuck you really are a spastic.

Thats not very nice. I thought his question was very reasonable :\

Seems like a reasonable question... infact I'm rather sure you can do and arts/music degree specialising in 'electronic music' at Monash

Might be something to ask them about.

Get into the scene it's self, work at a club n learn how it all works. Get fruityloops/reason/cubase n start playing around with sounds. See if you can get work experience (not paid) at a audio engineering joint. There isn't really any courses for what I think you're wanting, hence go out there n learn hands on.

I've checked there are uni courses relating to Electronic Music, but they are more studing it rather that actually doing it.. Your best option would be to just get into the scene.. like said^^

Unless you are really good... like world class material you can't make a career out of producing or DJ'ing.. so your best to do something cushy and easy to leave lots of time for the music.

Not like engineering

go out and glue yourself to the scene and the people involved, tell paulie to fuck off and have fun!!

hahaa we love u paulie!!! and that gurn!!

No need for him to tell me you can tell me yourself!

I doubt you got the balls though

SAE.

pretty sure theres courses there for using all the hardware associated with producing electronic music.

of course the underlying thing here is talent

How bout yourself?

GOOOOOOODDDDDDSSS KIITTTTCCCCHHHHEEENNN!N!!!!!!!11!!one

Well, I did a shourt course a coupla years ago through Swinburne & the TAFE entitled "Dance music Production". It was about $250 bux for 3 sessions about 4 hours long. The shit thing about it was that I could have taught the course as it was real basic stuff like "..this is a synth, this is a mixer, and this is a sequencer.." and some slightly more advanced stuff. I'd been a hobby audio engineer for about 7 years and had been making edm for over 6 months prior so I didn't get too much benefit from it but I did get some stuff. Depends what level you're at really.. If you're just starting out, and don't have much background it might be useful!!

I agree with the notion you should get in the scene too. If you look you will find loads of people who are into making music electronically and there's a good (though slightly ego driven) culture of "geek-babble" to trade tricks and learn from each other!! Also being in the scene means you have people to show your results to and get criticism.

I've had a few mates go through SAE and while they would agree that you learn lot's about the physics of sound, music theory, and techniques like recording and mastering, they would also say that it's not worth the money you pay for it (shiteloads!!) unless you are really into recording bands, and acoustic/organic styles of music.

I credit myself [/big head] as being competent in the studio (of both acoustic/organic & electronic) through mainly passion, experience in the field, and fanatic resourcing on the internet. I can email you a zillion links on nearly any topic relating to trance production. When I run into a problem or don't know how to proceed to make a sound, I find out (really cheaply!!). All you need is to want to.

You can get great advice here: http://www.futureproducers.com

Buy "Computer Music" or "Future Music" mag - it's packed with tute's, gear reveiws, all things geekoid.

or.. google absolutely anything you're curious about and ye shall know!!

Shoot me a mail if you want anymore specific advice.

Cheers.

P.S. WARNING: When/if you start making tunes, it may cause trance to posess you and pervade every aspect of your life as you knew it.
