Hello everyone !

So i’m Alex 19 years old. And as you saw it in the title, i’d like to get some advices about applying for a music production course, in Europe. I’m currently in a 3 years course, studying motion design, and i don’t like it at all. I decided to quit rather than having a job i don’t like in the future.

I first started to make music at the age of 8. Fruity loops . And i’ve never stopped getting better and i’ve learned to use Pro Tools, Reason and Logic Pro by my own. I’ve also learned the main Waves plug-ins (SSL, Multibands, EQs, Stereo imagers, Compressors…), Brainworks and Ozone.

4 years ago, i met an artist from Orlando, he first liked my instrumentals, then he asked for a song. So i jumped on the opportunity, and made a song with him (beat, mixing, mastering). As a result, he got 2 millions views on youtube, thousand of streams, and a radio cover in the UK. Later on, we made 4 songs together. At the end of the day, i got 3 millions views on youtube and thousand of streams with him.

So yeah, nowadays it might be really easy to break the internet, people often told me quit everything, you can make it on your own….. Well, not really, if don’t have the connections you won’t get anywhere. And i still have a lot to learn as well. I’ve recently, got into DJing, with some Pioneer material.

So today, i’d like to pursue my way into the music industry and work in there. So that’s why i’m calling to you guys, whoever you are, teachers, professionals, artists, students… I’m interested in a music production/sound engineering course. I’ve heard some school like DBs Berlin, SAE, Abbey Road Institute, Berklee….

Is paying for courses a good idea ? Can a school provide interesting connections ?
My aim is obviously to get a job a the end of it, it’s gotta be worth the price.

If you have any questions i’ll be there

Thanks a lot !

Could you please share your songs here? I think it's better to discover your taste first. If you're EDM/house/trance/techno ... maker, I don't think you'd need more education.
