I would like to hear some of your opinions about the many different schools to go to. I am looking for a school that will teach me enough to be able to hold my own in a good sized studio. What school did you go to? If any... thanks for any info. :D

I have been able through a studio to work on some mastering gigs as an assistant, the studio is closing and the main engineer is a nut.I was looking for some sort of well respected mastering course, workshop or school that i could travel to(i am in Toronto Canada).Something that would give me a fresh approach starting from the basics and hopefully eventually including new formats like 5.1 or S

I'm in college and I plan on recording some songs soon and I will be using some people on campus to play a string part on some songs. If I use these people should I pay them a one-time fee? Do they get a cut of sales? What if they did it for free, but I magically made it big and sold a lot of recordings, could they demand a cut of the pay?

Hey all,

:) Hi, tough one to explain, but a realization has occurred to me of late. I’ll try.

Does anyone know of any school or institute in the Bay Area (preferably San Francisco) where I can take a course in mixing?

I've found a few schools that offer online courses but I'm looking for a more hands-on approach to learning.

I am seriously considering attending the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences in Tempe, AZ.
Is this a worthwhile thing to do?

I have always had problems de-essing. I cant seem to get it to work right. People tell me to de-ess around 1.6 - 3k. BUt the freqs i hear jumping out are higher like 6 - 8k. I have a Avalon 737, which should de-ess perfectly, according to the manual. By time I get the comp to kick in on the esses its kicking in on all kinds of stuff.

I have a question:
I was approached by the band instructor at my son's middle school. At the school they have an auditorium which seats maybe 8oo total with a balcony. Plaster & wood construction. Anyway, the school wants to replace the old sound re-enforcement console with something new. He asked me to look into the particulars.
