I went to s-s-r manchester about 2 years ago now!

I did the full audio engineering and production course costing in excess of £6000.

Although i found it very informative and the studio's situated @ manchester are supurb. You can't just do one of these courses and expect to be a world renowned producer.

Most of the people on my course thought that as sson as they had completed it they would be instantly snapped up by recording labels and this is not the case..

It merely gave you an insight in to what you can do with technology, but without a creative spark and alot of innitiative you may as well of just read an online guide...

Dont expect too much from these courses just try and learn all you can..

Certainly in the audio industry, you can't expect to just get a job once you finish the course, you need to have contacts, you need to work for free, you need to build your reputation etc. Ideally, I plan to build my own studio as there is only a small number of high end studios where I live (1 or2). Only prob there is cost, but it is a long term goal.
6000 is heaps (about $15000 in Oz dollars) It's $10000 here. Excellent facilities too.
I know what you mean by most expect to snapped up - I know a few people that have finished the course, one of them installs car stereo's now. Not really an ideal outcome.
So are you working in the field?
