MitsuStyle - View Single Post - IPR: Institute of Production and Recording

the degree you get isnt accredited, and during the week i attended i noticed that there are a lot of people there that shouldnt be. Most people that were going there told me that they were there because they hate "normal school" and they like listening to music. Those kids arent getting anywhere when they get out of there. Just because you have an expensive receipt saying that you can produce or record doesnt give you an ear for music. Plus you will realize that none of the teachers there attended any sort of school to be where they are, and the guy that taught my synth class was a joke and i already knew much more than him. For the first week of classes they teach you stuff like how to open programs on a mac and how to save files. Its ridiculous, the entire school is aimed towards the kids that are sick of "normal school" and will give them the 30 grand. Its all about who you know in music, but if you want to get on some machines hennepin tech has a pretty good program that an old teacher of mine started up and its pretty good and a lot cheaper. But if you are really interested in music, start going to shows and playing an instrument and meet people that play and record that way. All producers play an instrument of some kind. Well, thats pretty much the end of this rant for now. Take it as you will.
