Hi,
I am reading the studio recording engineer programe and am taking some sound engineering classes my instructor says that he can teach me every thing from begining to end of audio engineering. he also wants me to lern to play many different instroments besides the ones I already play(lead gutar,rythem guitar,mandilin,banjo, violin,dobro,keybord) like the drums and steel guitar, ect... he also wants to teach mastering and and music theory.
ok, the problem is he only theaches 1 hour a week. can some one tell me if that is enough time to realy learn engineering and musical instroments, also does that sound good as a course |

| Living Sound |

Hi and wlecome to the forums Steck.
I would say "no", it is not nearly enough - though better than nothing.
You really ought to be living sound, eating sound and breathing sound, not to mention a whole bunch of other things too.
I've been in sound for literally years and I still often spend exreme hours working away on a new technique or programming a seqencer.
Basically put, we all have different learning styles and abilities BUT sound engineering is a life not just a job.
What does everyone esle think?

I probably read every book on recording eng. and anything to do with computers because of the remote location I live.Courses are'nt offered in my area so I took advantage of the on line course.
One thing I found out there are a lot of other opinions out there it does'nt matter what style of music.
I learn't there's a lot of work involved and searching for answers and rather stick in your brain .It's like it carves out a roadmap in your brain.
to become one like one mentions you have to live and breath this stuff to become one and as for myself what became a hobby is now a job.
many hours have been spent burning the candle to the we hours of the morning and still worried when it came time for exams but I did it and so did many others
good luck with your journey If your really into it you'll enjoy it also so put your heart into it!!

Yeah, the misconception of jobs is that it is something to dread, really people just don't know how to find the jobs that support their needs, maybe that is how people just think of them, that they are just boring, but to do something that you love to do is something totally different, i'd prefer a career over a job, my life is all about learning, whether it is more specific to audio engineering or just science in general. |

24 hrs a day on all 7 days isn't enough to learn. Learning is a continuous process.....whether you are an experienced engineer or a novice....once the learning stops the "fall" begins (according to me that is)....never ever close your mind to learning....and as far as things like mastering go...you can't learn it....you could probably learn "how to master" but that's something that will come with experience....so go ahead with your one hour a week classes.....you have the rest of the time to read and practice......so it's quite good actually.....
.....and most importantly have fun while you do it!  |

hello!
I am also looking to do a course at the masters level. i have been producing music for ad films, jingles, daily soaps et al for about 2 years now, i wana go out there and learn some new things, NOT as an engineer, but as a music producer. LA recording school and full sail look good, but they are for mixing/recording engineers. i am looking at a course which helps me with music production techniques as a whole...
i have zero'd down on westminister university and Thames Valley University (MA audio tech and MA music production respectively.).. i am from India and i wana do a course for the experience...of learning new styles, expand my knowledge..
any tips on which one is good...? or any other that you may think can help me out? (U.K preffered)
thanks |

Hello
Well I do not personally know those two courses you mention, the institutions I do, but not a real sense of the course.
I'd be quite happy to continue a discussion here about a couple things though.
1. why you want a masters
2. what would you want as content
If you want to bash this one out with some good dialogue, here is the place.
