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

admin — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 20:37:27 +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!

I have a patent pending booster for harvesting ice machines. How can I best market the device?

admin — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 00:21:26 +0000

The device cuts power more than half while more than doubling ice output. Common ice machine crashes in summer do not happen. Compressor engineer off the record said life of compressor would go up 300 percent. For ice machines exhausting heat indoors there is a dramatic improvement in air conditioning load. I need to reach high up in restaurant franchises, Coca Cola, Pepsi, military, schools, and other government decision makers. I believe if you do not have a KickIce you do not have a competative ice machine. When I have spoken to ice machines reps they have been nebulous.

I would contact the company itself that make icemachines or even talk with the patent office. They can tell you the next step to take.

Engineering school?

admin — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 03:25:18 +0000

I am 26 years old and just received my applied science associates degree. I want to go all the way and get my batchelors in Electrical or Mechanical. Back in when i was in high school i was a slacker, didnt do so well on my SAT's, my math skills were bad, and had a C GPA, i didnt even care about college. If I could go back in time i would REdo high school all over again and get top grades. But hey what's done is done. Some people just apply themselves at different point of their lives. But now im determined and driven to get my degree, i know earning an engineering degree will be a challenge but I am up for the task, Especially in physics and math (which i are my weak parts, but i am going to learn and master those subjects because they now interest me and i want to understand it) . So my question is will a 4year college look at my bad high school GPA record? or do i have to take an entrance acceptance test ? OR can i transfer with my Associate degree credits?

Ask the school you want to go to!

How can a US Citizen be ran out of his country by a illegal

You should all take this to Dr. Phil who would love to debate this……..Sounds interesting..
She sounds Oriental they come here fully orientated on how to get rich fast and also many Russian woman learn how to marry a rich man and on how to get rich quick.. That is what I have heard.

Many times a stupid man deserves this for looking for younger woman then they pay the price of stupidity.

Should I pursue an audio/recording engineering career?

admin — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 03:41:25 +0000

I'm about done high school, and this is something I'd really love to do for the rest of my life. Be it in music, film… whatever, I just want to work with sound and be able to support myself. Though, I'm facing some obstacles.

Firstly, pressure from my family, wanting me to take a more stable and conventional path (like my siblings and friends) is making me a bit discouraged. Whenever I tell people what I want to do, they look a bit surprised.

Secondly, from people in the industry I've talked to, about half say they tried and couldn't break into the industry and did something else, and the other half saying it's tough, but doable. This is also a bit discouraging.

Thirdly, I seem to have a chronic fear of "failing" at life. Say 15 years down the road, still trying to "make it", while watching my siblings and friends have good, stable jobs and a "happy" life. This may make me shallow, but it bugs me. I want to do something I love, but I feel lost…

Please, any advice is welcome.

The ONLY way you will really be a true failure is if you don't try. Trying and not succeeding is NOT failing. Please disregard what other's want you to be. This is YOUR life!! Go for it! Follow your dream and NEVER give up. Do not accept the word "No". Just because someone has a good stable job does not mean they are "happy". How do I know this? Because I played it safe and didn't follow my dream. I am not miserable now but careerwise, I could be a lot happier. Don't repeat my mistake. Go for it!!!!

Do you know how to EQ drums and other instruments to make them sound better?

admin — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 03:37:57 +0000

my mixes are dry, without life. i need to know exact frequencies of all the cymbals and toms, snare and kick. and how much to take away at what frequency and such. just some guidelines. i dont understand how to use a parametric eq or the other para-word eq either. i have all types of computer effects and dont know how to use them well. i just got the basics on compression, but i am just the padawan learner. any help would be appreciated. im not bad with working out levels, and all the preamp jazz, getting the sound not to clip and stablizing norms. its just the mixdown sounding dull and severely lacking in power and depth. if there is a online school for becoming a recording engineer, please point me in the right direction.

Alesis Hd24 / Sonar 5 producer edition / Mackie cfx20 /good mics sm57s, good condensers / new cables / little experience

I don't know about tried and true "On Paper" technique about frequency specs and all that , i just use my ears. Have you considered checking out BBE's sonic maximizer or aural exciter stuff? They are supposed to bring punch and clarity to otherwise dull mixes.

Where to get student loans from for education in the US?

admin — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 03:28:10 +0000

I want to study aerospace engineering and have had a above average record in school like a 92 in ICSE. I also have a nice range of extra curricular activities. Please help I am in Kolkata. Which bank which loan would be apt. I have just finished my class 12 Board Examinations.
I am from India I dont think I could get help with the FAFSA.

There are two sources for student loans — the federal government and private lenders. In order to obtain most federal student loans, you will first need to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In most

http://best-loans.awardspace.com/student-loans.htm

Federal loan consolidation is for students who are in repayment status or parents who wish to extend the repayment period on their current PLUS and obtain a fixed interest rate for the life of the loan–>you can combine all of your eligible federal student loans into one loan with a Federal Consolidation Loan. Consolidating also locks the interest rate you pay on your loan.

how hard is it to be a music engineer?

admin — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 04:55:55 +0000

im starting school in hollywood at The Los Angeles Recording School? i dont know what to expect

Music engineering is not like regular engineering. I'm not sure what the course requirements are, but all of the sound and music engineers I've worked with are not the types of folks that are running laplace transforms to determine optimal mic placement. If you have an ear, and a knack for computers, you'll be fine. Most of your work will be with protools anyway.
