not hating on fullsail or anything, but its REAL expensive and plus, they're curriculum doesn't include a lot of interesting things about recording, and also they don't require hardly any musical talent/knowledge.

I'm going to unc asheville. AMAZING audio program. Amazing music department also.

mad people hate on it for those reasons, but its because they have no idea of the prerequisites you HAVE to have before you get on the board. i got my associates in recording arts there and for the first few months every one's like wheres the recording shit at, but once you sit in one of their several 2 million dollar suites you know why you didnt see it for so long. there is soooo much to learn that if you were in the studio from the beginning it'd be like a virgin trying to pull a ron jeremy. musical talent and knowledge really dont mean shit if your going to school to be an engineer. i am a very talented musician and had been recording on a digital 8 track for a few years before going, and i can honestly tell you everything i knew before hand meant nothing once i was there. in the span of one year i went from using a 300 dollar digital 8 track to running close to a 10,000 dollar home studio. i can tell that youve looked into unc but i would definitely say regardless of the school, your going to go through a few months of bullshit before you start getting your feet wet. im definitely not trying to recruit for fullsail, orlando is the biggest asshole on the face of the planet. it was the worst year of my life, except when we were actually recording, but you have lots and lots to learn.

did you get any classes that were like 3 in the morning? I heard they have real weird class times there too.

dude that shit was the worst, 3am or 1 am labs that are 4 hours long. only thing that was kinda cool about it was the 5 am blunt session after labs to get us all sleepy. you feel cracked out after looking at all those faders and knobs for four hours in the middle of the night.
