At the moment i know very little about studio eqiupment and wanting to know how everything connects up and understand the jobs they do etc

cheers

I'm very new and inexperienced and seeking guidance from the pros out there. All I wanna do mix, master and just record music for a major record label or for film so I can get the experience of being in a professional environment before branch out on my own business venture.

(Not a spam! Just a user experience and recommendation.)

After running out of options (no Pro Tools keyboard for PC and the Digidesign store usually out of sticker stock) I found this link on "The DUC" and decided to give it a shot.

Though I generally love it, one of the problems with this lifestyle is that I miss the collegiate atmosphere that I once had working at a studio as a second/ junior engineer. There, I learned much every day because my work was being watched over by more senior engineers.

Do you ever find that only AFTER you are finished with a mix and are in no position to alter it that you begin to find flaws you would have undoubtedly changed?
