I'll have my certificate at the end of this semester, and I don't think I even broke $1000 for it. Plus I got to play with SSL boards, that's always fun

Originally posted by DjWoody How's that working out for you? I been thinking about doing that.

It's good, It def improved my electronica sound. I also learned many things that I dont think were neccessary (post production movie things). was it worth it... im not sure. i didn't really follow it as a career after i exited. Working in a studio wasn't what I wanted to do with that education at first. In fact my first studio gig.. i was the only guy working there who had actually gone to school but we had big name clients like NIN, weezer, Sarah B etc. So based on that Im not too sure if I would recommend the schooling.. It all depends on how fast you want to learn it, and how much effort you want to have to put in yourself. I don't think it would be impossible to just go work at a pro studio for a few hours a week for a couple months and really get to learn the equipment. You just gotta find a studio willing to cater to you. A lot of those guys really do like to teach and take people "under their wing" though.

I really suck at making music

I C... See, a lot of times I feel lost because aside from DJ'ing I have no musical knowledge/training. I don't know jack shit about theory, or how to play an instrument. I'm a computer geek, but besides that, I'm lost. Hehe I'm self teaching my self a lot of things, and learning lots from this very forum.

I really don't have any friends nearby that are into production that live nearby. Rachael Starr offered to help me out and teach a few things, but she's always on tour. AM FM Alexander offered too, but he's in Arizona. And the one person who was showing me the strings, Mike Lord, moved to the Phillipines. So I'm lonely in OC. hehehe

There's so much I wanna learn, I'm hungry for music knowledge.

Got pretty damn lucky. Searched days for an interesting internship. I gave up on finding an internship in a studio.

Then I found one that seemed fun (magazine/advertisement company). I sent them an email and because of my appealing resume and interests I was in. They're actually making room for me as they can't have any more interns under normal circumstances. Anyway I'll be doing a lot of stuff with SAE and Red Bull for the Red Bull Music Academy , which are my employers' partners on this project. My main focus will be engineering in a mobile studio which was formerly used by radio 538 (big dutch FM radio for those that aren't from these parts), doing interviews, making programs and podcasts. In other time I'll be working in the SAE studio they'll be building for this project
