Is music production school worth it?
This is an important question to consider if you want to take your music seriously and make a living doing what you love.
In this video, I talk about the pros and cons of music school, and answer the questions: Is music production a good career? Should I go to school for music production? Is a music production degree worth it? How much is music production school? All from my personal experience.
Disclaimer: this is all strictly my biased opinion!
My goal is to help give you some perspective and clarify some of the pros and cons of going to school for music production or audio engineering.

Love the video man it was really interesting to hear your perspective on traditional schooling. So I’m going back to school now due to the mass reconnect program so I get to go to audio engineering school for free. I’m considering postgraduate online courses in business and additional music production courses also I’m thinking about applying to some schools out in Boston to further educate myself on recording software and mixing.

This is a great reset video for me. Time to look at exactly what I want out of music. Producer? Engineer? Just a pianist? Hmm who knows! But as I find myself i know ill keep growing and enjoying the journey along the way. I appreciate the insight on this topic!

Halfway threw a prestigious school I can look bk and say these type of videos will make you not make moves most ppl make videos I feel are mad they didn’t go to there dream school , no one wants to learn everything on your own with a a structure , one main thing school will give you is hands on gear ⚙️, are cheap room stuff will never get close to , you will always at any age need experience on high end gear , or rent one lol or be strictly a handicap programmer , hands on celebrity studios is also a experience, this why we make music for the experience, but get its never too late go there after you like me a watch hella videos and go there and ace school , lil tip thank me later, it also put you around other artist and not just your self in studio

Good points, resonates with me, I've done a few of these DJ and Production courses in London. Some better than others, more structure, able to ask questions directly, but then again, probably nothing I couldn't have gleamed off the good ol' KZfaq myself and saves some money.

Glad it resonated! I agree if you are very self-driven you can learn a TON by yourself with all the amazing resources we have available to us. However, as you said having a framework, accountability, awesome teachers, and some skin in the game (an investment) can really speed up the process and help you take massive action.

i really wanna work on radio stations and tv besides working on music and opening up my own studio so i think going to school is a good option for me since most stations wont accept people without degrees, plus i really wanna learn more since ive been struggling with production for years

@metamindmusicofficial 2 жыл бұрын

Heyo! Going to audio school may be a great option for you with your goals. I would maybe suggest outreaching directly to the radio stations/tv channels you're looking at and ask them what type of experience/credentials they're looking for

this is the second video I've watched, where the guy says the degree doesn't matter, but has one, and also used the "Clean dirty toilets" as an analogy. makes me think of the news stations that say the same exact script. kinda creepy tbh.

AAAAAHHHH!!!! it makes sense now... the recording revolution.

@metamindmusicofficial Ай бұрын

The only way I could have this insight (and thus my opinion) is BECAUSE I went to audio school - how else would know one know? As for the toilet thing it’s a pretty common expression for the “studio intern” archetype.

@alexshelton8489 Ай бұрын

@@metamindmusicofficial please tell me it’s just an expression tho. 😆😂 I’m about to jump into it. But the two schools around me are trade schools and they don’t offer avid certifications. So I’d have to do that separately, unfortunately. Still on the fence though. I just realized how my comment seemed and that wasn’t the intention, I was genuinely like, “uh oh. Simulation!” 😂

I want to start rapping, Would it be better to go to production or audio engineer school?

@metamindmusicofficial 2 жыл бұрын

It really depends on your goals... I don't think either will help you specially with rapping. I think you can a learn from your own practice or a mentor for that. If you want to produce your own music, production school could be a good fit. If you want to run session in a studio with other artists/bands and mix perhaps audio engineering school Online courses are a great choice as well ;)

Keep in mind that obviously I’m biased… But if you’re interested in learning how to produce yourself from A-Z, I’ve created a super in depth course called Music Creator Academy. If you’re interested, we can jump in a quick call and talk about you and your music goals You can set one up with this link: www.metamindmusic.com/book Chat soon!

Do you think I should drop out of SAE

@metamindmusicofficial 2 жыл бұрын

It really depends what your goals are/how much your tuition cost you. You'd want to weight the pros and cons of SAE vs online courses/practicing on your own
