My florida move...

[SpicyMchaggis]

I'm moving to maitland/winter park (orlando) in the begining of janurary. Finally decided to go to full sail, this is college round 3 for me. So, after much dilberation I finally decided to move down. So everyone heads up. We should really revamp this meet system you guys have been running. I'm bringing NEPOC to the south. One love -Kyle (hippy)

[GotBoost]

too bad your not coming down. what part of FL do you think you'll be at in the summer?

[1sty]

did you check out 7th row?

[SpicyMchaggis]

yeah I did, I'm probably going to do mobile dynamics up in toronto in a few months. I'll be in orlando this summer visiting a few people.

[1sty]

IF all your going to school for is to get the MECP certification, then you can barrow my book and it will be no problem to pass.

[SpicyMchaggis]

sweet! I could use it right now!

[Black Majik MSP]

ANytime you want it or you can even order one for like $30 from there website.

MECP (Mobile Electronic Certified Professional)
Its the sanctioning body that creates the car audio installer certification tests. THere are several levels of them.

The other is a car audio install school.

[SpicyMchaggis]

I'm doing both, doing the entry level MECP (bronze) test..then doing mobile dynamic in toronto for a month..coming out as a MECP installer..then just work until i get the master certification..

Full Sail is a good school, but make no mistake - you still have to pay your dues when you graduate regardless of the school you attend. You still have to work in a studio for nothing (or next to it) for about the first year just to get a foot in the door at most major studios. If you know your way around a studio any at all, just go to one of the better studios in Miami and beg for a job as an intern and then learn all you can - skip school. You'll save a buttload of money. I graduated with a B.S. in Music Industry with a minor in Accounting, but decided to go the way of ENG/EFP audio because I couldn't afford to work for nothing to break into Nashville, LA, NY or wherever.

I have a feelings its both but would like to know for sure.

What is it that they teach anyways. I work with a guy that has some 2 year reocrding degree or something like that and I have to fallow him around and basicly undo everything he does EQ wise or audio tuning wise. IF I go to a site and I know he has been there and there is an audio problem, often, just bypassing the EQ fixes a world of issues.

you'll love fullsail, its VERY intensive study though, so get ready for it consuming your life for 13months(or however long it is).

yea i know all about it trust me, i know lots of people in the business(in tennessee none the less lol), so i knew what it was all about, but i changed my mind and am going to goto law school instead!

"New England Protege Owners Club South"

SEPOC is sweet..


carry on...

[vindication]

bazooka joe, you my friend do excellent work. and this time you can't trick me with that age joke(argh)




oh well!

IF I go to a site and I know he has been there and there is an audio problem, often, just bypassing the EQ fixes a world of issues.

I'm talking about a music studio (tracking, mixing, mastering, whatever). Most major studios that I know of, you start off as an intern (making nothing or very little) and in 6-12 months, you either leave or stick around and maybe work a night shift recording lesser knowns, making still a little bit but more than when an intern.

What do you mean when you go to a site, do you mean audio installs or event audio or what? EQ should be used sparingly and only when necessary. The right mic/preamp/placement is the key. I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, sorry.

Smart move. Sometimes I wish I would have stayed with accounting. Good paying jobs that aren't hard to come by abound in that field. Being a freelancer, I never know when my next job will be. And thanks to the Buccaneers (sucking) and the Hockey strike, it's been a slow 4th quarter for me.

[Glowspeedp5]

Communication field is a very hard field to get your feet planted into. You have to do millions of jobs just to be an intern. I have a BS in mass communication with a minor in computer science. Tampa is a hard area dur to USF and the college kids coming out underpricing us people that been in the industry for 5 years.

Plus myself coming from the DC area they are afraid I would want tons of money...

It takes kids awhile to figure out that they're hurting themselves by undercutting the rest of the market. Charge the going rate and do a good job. That's what clients want is to pay a fair price and get an excellent product. Some clients want a good product for next to nothing. Don't work for people like that - you'll regret it in the long run. Once you start with a low bid it's very difficult to get the price up. You'll always be known as the guy/gal who'll do it for less money.

Are you a freelancer as well, or as you looking for actual gainful employment? What field?

Well welcome to florida whenever you get here.
