Newbie on this forum...
Anyways...
I've been reading through your website and trying to find more details on the courses (esp Recording Techniques). I'm an amateur recording engineer/producer/whatever, and have a decent education (self education) in it (lotsa books even more practice). I'm am very intersted in making a career outta this, but I'm trying to set the pins up before I can knock em down.
My question:
Is the recording course only going to cover basic to intermediate techniques/theory, or will I be able to learn the more advanced stuff? What I really want to know is, am I going to learn what I need to make my music go from "not too shabby" to "impressive!". Bottom line, I want to hear a noticeable difference in the quality (pretty common, huh?).
If anyone can offer their two cents, I'd appreciate it.
PS: For those who are interested, I can direct you to some of the latest stuff I've made to weigh in on any thoughts. PM Me. Thanx. |

Hello there,
I am a student of Audio Courses, I attended 2 courses: Recording Techniques and Music Technology.
I remember having similar doubts before starting the studies, but what I can tell you is the the courses are indeed in-depth, how much in-depth depends by yourself. These are courses where nobody but you is responsible for how much time want to dedicate to it. I did learn a lot more than what I imagined...
Have a listen to the
Podcast 73
on this page there is an audioblog I made and was kindly put on air by Chris.
I hope I gave you a bit of background...

Hi Crawfish,
I will echo precisely what Ed (Electrosushi) had to say about the courses. They are indeed very in-depth and you can 'get by' with a lot of effort or learn more than you ever thought possible if you apply yourself in the order of 100%. It is really up to the student. I will add though, that you will be so well-prepared for anything that comes along in the audio engineering field that you will be surprised over and over again.
If you want to be fed the information, then Audio Courses is probably not for you. But if you want to be challenged, informed, and well-educated in this field you will be very satisfied. As far as your recordings being 'impressive', that is entirely up to how much you put your nose to the grindstone and apply the valuable information you learn after completing the course-work. I will warn you though that this is intense and absolutely student driven. I would not trade these courses for anything. I have explored 90% of the Audio Engineering schools in the U.S. (Berkeley, Full Sail etc) and found them to be horribly lacking in comparison. The production advisors are without peer, and assistance is always within a few minutes. I hope this information is helpful in your deliberations about whether Audio Courses is right for you or not. My guess is that regardless of your previous experience, Audio courses is going to further your knowledge in this incredible field. Will it make you a Grammy winning engineer/producer/whatever? That (like success in education) is entirely up to you and your dedication.
Cheers
