It exists and is alive and well, I’ve seen Music Production in London taken place in some of the, NO, the BEST facilities in the country for learning music production.

Whichever way you look at it, music production is something which takes time to learn, it’s as much about the experience as it is being told. Sure you can be told about new techniques, you can be informed about new tricks and tips, but quite honestly nothing compares to locking yourself away in a purpose built studio and tweaking away at your hearts content.

This is where SAE London excels from a user experience perspective, the gear is state of the art, and the students have 24 hour access to literally spend every waking hour sitting in that experiential zone, that important place we all know to be essential for deepened learnt experiences.

You see to really “get-it” you have to have “done-it”, you have to have made mistakes, you have to have come back from a break only to realise your mix stinks, and then when the “penny drops” you put it right, you approach the production with new fresh ears and more clairty - you’ve moved onwards and upwards.

I spend a few hours a month at SAE London and I’m hoping to show you more content over time concerning their Music Production.

Martin Atkins teams up with Presonus and bubbles enthusiastically about the benefits of being in the “now”. The main point he puts over here is that promotion is now all about you YOU, taking responsibility yourself, not entering into a blame culture and being highly self-directed to achieve your ambitions, could be a very useful stance, what do you think?
