Does anyone know anything about IPR...(Institute of Production and Recording) in Minnesota? The production program sounds a lot more up my alley becuase it's more 'producer driven' than engineer driven. But it's a relatively new program and I don't wanna be a frozen guinea pig in vein.
Do people go to recording arts schools because they WANT to become recording engineers, or for some is it because they want to become producers and think that's how to get there? Is there training for producer wanna-bes? I haven't heard much about things from a producers standpoint. Can anyone shed some light on that please?

Hi Kurt! Thanks. Yes I do have a musical background. I play the keyboard and used to play sax. I can read and write music (the basics). I play in a reggae band and have spent much time 'producing' music and recording 'artists'. But I really want to take it to the next level and do it professionally.
I think you would be an excellent candidate to become a producer

I know nothing of the institute in Mini-sohh-thaa ... You could ask for some references from alumni and then ask them how benifical the course was.. That would be the best source of the answers / information you're looking for.

music tracks
Hey Kurt,
How can I get my music (instrumentals) into the hands of the powers that be? I have some tracks that I am pretty confident would truly compliment the style of certain artists in the reggae/hip hop genre.
Can you tell me how to get it from my home studio into the hands of the people that can make it happen?
FULL-SAIL BABY!!!!! it's expensive, but it's like this: ever
FULL-SAIL BABY!!!!!
it's expensive, but it's like this:
every mainstream album/movie/radio station/internet company/even new video games!!!!!..... has someone from full-sail behind it. it's a big-time media production school. check it out
i'm trying to go, but i doubt i can afford it!!! :cry:
Yeah.....actually, that was my first choice. I was almost sure t
Yeah.....actually, that was my first choice. I was almost sure that that's where I'd be, until I saw IPR. Unlike Full Sail, they have distinct programs for both recording engineers AND pruducers. I would like to learn the engineering side just so I'd be able to navigate my way through the entire recording and mixing process on my own if I have to, but not necessarily because I genuinly want to know the intricate processes that a recording engineer would have to know. I'm more into the creative process. There's actually a program where you combine both there to, but like I said it's a relatively new school so I just wanted to know if there were any other schools with the emphasis being placed in the 'education' of the producer.
But yeah, Full Sail was where I was definately heading (or at least trying to head to....expensive) till I saw IPR.

that one sure looks like a winner. there aren't too many school
that one sure looks like a winner. there aren't too many schools like that, i don't believe.
do you know how long the degree program takes?? i know with fullsail you can get both degrees in recording/music business in 2 years compressed learning. what's the time frame like with IPR???
The diploma programs in Audio Engineering and Audio Production c
The diploma programs in Audio Engineering and Audio Production can be completed in a year. Unlike Full Sail though, you could be sleeping at 3am instead of being in class. The degree program can be completed in a year and a quarter. There's supposed to be a new entertainment business degree starting in Jan....don't know how long that would take though.
