audio engineering question
Im not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I know that
there are several of you who have professional recording experience. I am wanting to get started in audio/sound engineering. The school I currently attend does not offer audio engineering as a major, so I would have to transfer. I have been looking at several different schools online when I came across this website: http://www.recordingconnection=AD.com/ They basically offer a hands on education through an apprenticeship. I was wondering if anyone has heard of this place or knows anything about. To me it sounds pretty good, but Im not sure if it is legit or not. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks=20 Mike |

I This is a fine place for such a question, since it's one that has been asked here many times. I'd suggest a visit to Google and through the Google Advanced Groups Search function purviewing some of the previous threads, and then coming back with more specific questions formed on the basis of that info. http://www.google.com/advanced_group_search?hl=en am wanting to get started in audio/sound engineering.

But don't let that deter you. If you are competent and committed you will find work. -- ha |

But don't let that deter you. If you are competent and committed you will find work. That defies statistical logic. Each school only has to produce one competent and committed soundman, and there wont be a job for all them, according to your claims. This is that common fallacy, be committed, and you'll make it. Well it don't work like that. If there are 1000 more applicants for a job, you bet your booty that there well be more than one equally qualified and committed individual, such that there will also be looses with no fault. This is how it is in the real world, luck is always the final chooser. Being in the right place at the right time. Let no one kid themselves any different. Like, I made it cos I was the best. Yeah...right on. Lets all belive our own marketing posters.

A slight exaggeration perhaps... but none the less, very reflective of the current state of things on this side of the pond. -- David Morgan (MAMS) http://www.m-a-m-s DOT com Morgan Audio Media Service Dallas, Texas (214) 662-9901 _______________________________________ http://www.artisan-recordingstudio.com |

I reckon there are at least 120 students finishing courses in Dublin
alone at this time of year. And still they keep coming... About 25% are real quality... They seem to be finding jobs, mostly freelance or short term contract. Jobs in Studios are very scarse, I know I was lucky. Still am... |

Not a week goes by that I don't get two or three phone calls or faxes from people looking for internships or jobs. Usually asking them if they can read a conductor's score shuts them up quickly.... --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Man, that's some luck. Dan Kennedy has had some of that same kind of luck, the lucky sumbitch. Your preamp probably has connectors and all that stuff. That's over-the-top lucky. You could hook a mic to it. -- ha |
