does that mean going to the club is part of the curriculum?
edit $14.800 tuition, that aint bad.. |

Music theory is more about notes and beats on paper and that kinds of thing... |

i was referring to the
essential exposure to djing
what better place to be exposed to djing
than in the club? |

| Humm, actually standing behind another DJ while they're mixing is better IMO... |

ok... you guys need to realize something.
DJing and Producing music essentially has very little to do with audio engineering. Producing maybe a slight part, but djing isn't even something audio engineers learn or think about..
audio engineering or music technology major is all about studio work. recording, mastering, live recording, mixdowns, learning about electronics, learning about studio equipment, learning how to design equipment or software, etc. etc.
you have to make it clear. do you want to learn how to dj? or do you want to learn to be an audio engineer... |

i was gonnna comment BIG TIME on this, lol. but you said it. +1
remember... dj-ing producing should be a part of you're life, and certainly an audio engineering course is gunna help
but the paths aren't identical, and vary rarely come together
I'm in AIS because I know I love audio and I want a career based on it. I'll keep mixing and producing on the side, but at least I'll love my job as well.
I know I probably won't ever be a money-making producer or DJ but at least I can get a job engineering audio, I do have a good ear for sound.
LA LA LA I am tweaking right now... SOOO back to the turntables ;)

that's cool man, but some people get the wrong idea
i've seen kids drop the program BECAUSE they had the wrong idea. however most of the instructors have beaten it into our head's by now that this is not the "Producer School" it's engineering. |
