Important Question: Getting a Job at Studio Reliable?
Posted: Sat Jan 20, 2007 5:50 am
Hey guys, I couldn't find a section of the forum for this question so I figured I'd just put it in the biggest. I apologize if this is out of place.
I am considering going to Berklee college of music in a year or so and I am torn between double majoring in Performance and Music Production and Engineering, or Performance and Music Buisness and Management. I Would MUCH rather double in Performance and Music production because I find the Music Production aspect of music more interesting then the business side. My question to you is: Would it be a wise decision to depend upon getting a degree in music prod. and engineering from Berklee and be able to get a job at a recording studio once out of school? Is this a reliable job field to depend upon? I have heard that the state of the major label recording industry is poor because of the advent of technology which allows for people to do it at home and not even bother with going to a major label, i'm not a knowledgeble studio engineer so I don't know.
Would a job at a recording studio in LA, NYC, or Boston, MA be a good thing to fall back on if the 'Performance' side of things doesn't quite work out? I need something that is full proof so I don't wind up on the street.
Thanks!
