Tosh1R Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hey guys,looking to start some study in Sound Design (im thinking a bachelors) does anybody have any experience with any of the mentioned institutes in the title? (AIM, JMC, SAE etc.)essentially looking to gain indepth knowledge on electronic production initially, with my final goal being qualified to work in a studio.Cheers peeps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Can't comment on the specifics of those mentioned. But in a previous life I was enrolled in a bachelor of arts (music production major) at Southern Cross Uni at Lismore. Whilst I failed miserably and pulled out pretty quickly (mostly due to first time living out of home and too much weed.) But I have 2 points to contribute:1. A full degree will involve studying many subjects that have little to do with the production side of things. There will be quite a great deal of units like music history which may not be of interest. 2. There are very, very, very few jobs going in that industry. You had want to be exceptuonally good and have developed some contacts by the time you finish to get a job. Saying all that, if I was wanting to go down that path again I would try the specialised schools (you mentioned). I'm only aware of SAE which seemed fairly highly regarded by the lecturers I had.

Mitch Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 JMC is known for its music courses.However although these courses may be good,, a lot of people are self taught by just lots of dedication and practice, without any formal qualifications.Just something to think about.
