What is the the best school (college) for music production and/or recording arts?

admin — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 13:50:17 +0000

Location is not an issue as long as it is in North America or Europe.

Well- If you really want to travel, There's a great school in vienna, but will put you in major debt.

Berkley has a good program for that. I auditioned there and passed, but wanted to be an education major so chose another location.

Stay away from hart school of music- I went there and the dept for your indended major would not satisfy you.

The best thing for you too do is just look at the depts. If you like what you see, audition there

After getting a bacholer in music from a college when my major was Music Recording/Technology Concentration?

admin — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 14:36:18 +0000

what do u do after getting a bacholer in music from a college when my major was Music Recording/Technology Concentration.. i am still in high school and was considering this major..but after u get that degree what do most people do? do they open there own studio, or apply to work at ones???? how much do audio engineers usually get paid

I am a music therapy major, but I know a bunch of SRT (Sound Recording Technology) majors, so I’m gonna bullet stuff here for you:

-as for pay, I/we don’t know where it starts, or even a general salary, because it is different for so many places, but ,like in any job, it takes time to move up the ladder into higher paying positions. But, it’s recommend you get internships during breaks while you are in college. It makes getting into the workforce a ton easier.

-as for opening your own studio, it depends on your money situation. It takes a lot of money to create a studio, to build it and to get equipment. Then you have to advertise. Most people work at other places first until they get enough to start something up for themselves. BUT, you can always do side projects/live recording and stuff like that on the side with smaller equipment that is not as expensive to purchase. You can even travel with a lot of that.

-a lot of this is what you find out at college. You figure out what you like better. you might like traveling and recording, and may never want to set up a studio. You may end up wanting to teach SRT as a professor. It all depends on what your personal opinions are.

I (we) wish you good luck!

Anyone Who Knows About Macbooks And Recording Music, Im Going To Need Your Help. Can You Answer This Question?

admin — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 19:57:24 +0000

…Or questions, right now I'm thinking on the fly. A couple days ago I was thinking that I would probably want to buy a Laptop soon, so that I have my own personal computer. But the thing is, I'm also a Musician, and I want to get some music out, but I dont have any recording equipment. I remembered at my school that on the Mac's there, they have the program called Garage Band for recording music, or making it with segments. I was wondering if I could use that for recording my singing, and guitar parts (I know I need some other equipment so yes I'll go get on that), and I was also wondering what Mac would be better to get (Prefferably a MacBook), but remember I also need to make it appeal to my parents because I'm only going to be a Sophomore next year, so I need to be able to convince them I'll use it for school as well. But I always could just talk to some guy at Best Buy or something about that. Thanks In advance people! You dont know how I'm looking forward to this.

I'm afraid that garage band is an over hyped program. It's not really that good, and not comparable to a premium program. Macs are just the cool computers right now, they're not as superior as people make them to be. Plus, the mic on a macbook or any laptop isn't even good. Yelling at my dad's macbook from 08 at the top of my lungs only brings it up to half on the scale. Look into hp pavilion's artist series, they're much cooler looking than a macbook and actually have a graphics card. Then, just buy a good mic and a premium recording program with the money you saved.

I want to go to audio recording school somewhere in Europe?

admin — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 19:58:38 +0000

First off I'm a student… so I don't have a whole lot of cash to facilitate such a transition.

I want to go to audio recording school somewhere in Europe
I'm very passionate about music (House/Dance etc), I dj and I've produced a couple of tracks.

And the way things are going right now… i don't see a very bright future.

So I need a generous heart to sponsor me. And help me achieve my dreams and goals.

If you're that person or have any good ideas please let me know.

Hi,

Getting into Berklee (school of music)?

admin — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 22:21:15 +0000

I'm a junior in high school and i've been playing guitar since 6th grade. I'm currently taking lessons with a very good musician who taught at berklee. I've always been kind of a blues/soul/rock musician but am starting to get into jazz. I've gigged in manhattan at some pretty famous clubs. I write music and record. Im interning at a recording studio and i record at home too. Pretty much all i do is music all day. But my grades aren't the best in the world. I mean they're getting better now but still not the best. And does anyone know if Berklee cares that much about SAT or ACT scores? besides the audition what else does Berklee look at – thanks

One of the great things about applying to a pure music school like Berklee is that their primary consideration is your audition. It's your talent that gets you in. Yes, you need to have okay grades, but your grades don't need to be as high as you might think – nor do your SAT scores. In fact, SATs aren't required for Berklee.

Your grades do matter. Berklee would prefer that your grades in your core subjects – English, math, history, and science – be C+ or better. But if you started low, and have been improving, that would be in your favor. If you have a story around that – for example, early on, you didn't care about school, but later you woke up, and now are finally really trying – that's something you may want to use in an essay.

If your grades are on the low side, you will be primarily relying on your audition to get you in. Your background and obvious interest in music is also going to be a key factor in your admissions, so make sure you bring that out in your application.

If I go to school to become a recording artist, does that mean I am a singer and songwriter as well?

admin — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 23:08:16 +0000

I want to be a singer one day and I'm not exactly sure where to go for school. Whether it's just music in general or the recording arts, I don't know how to narrow things down. My interests are in modeling and acting as well. I just want to go to one school for it all. So it would help me out a great deal if someone could tell me what schools offer all those options.
I am 17 years old, if that helps. I think I know what school you're talking about that's in Florida. I'm actually looking at a school in Orlando and it's called Full Sail. It looks interesting but I wasn't sure if it offered everything I wanted. Feedback please!

hmmm I don't know the name of the particular school, but I know there is one in Florida that does almost everyting that you were talking about… sorry i don't have the name. I hope this narrows your search down.

Which school is better NYU or USC?

admin — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 23:46:25 +0000

How strong are both music recording programs at both schools? Which school has the better and most beneficial program? Also has is the weather around NYU is it really that bad?

USC is actually ranked higher, but I think NYU is better overall. LA has better weather tho than NYC. For your major, I would definitely choose NYU and then after NYU I would move out to LA. Int he end it’s up to you. Good Luck!
