Hi all,
I'm moving to NYC this week (!) for my Dubspot experience.
I've learned a lot from AudioZ site and this forum, but thought it will be better to get hands on from the pros while living in New York for few months!

I'm taking the entire program for Music Theory/Ableton Live certificate (although I'm working with Cubase...)/Mixing and Mastering/Sound Design/DJing (Course finals: Play a set at one of New York's top clubs!

I hope everything will go well and I'll learn new things and techniques. I'll try and keep you updated with how's everything!

Wish me luck...

 

Yeah, good luck man and have fun. NYC is a great place

 

NYC is great but are you sure you want to pay that much money? I'm sure you'll get a lot of helpful tips and advice but in my opinion they simply rape you on tuition. Anyway I wish you all the best of luck in your musical journey. It would be awesome of you if you would share some of the stuff you're learning with other members here that could never afford such a luxury. And I'd send you 48 hour Uploaded.net coupons every so often as a thank you.

 

I just about passed out when I saw those prices!

 

So what were you all saying about professional tutoring?

Yeah they're straight up insane. That shit better come with a hot chick and a new computer.

 

Hope you have a ball Bro! :dancing:

Lucky git!

I truly hope you get not just everything you want, but also everything you NEED out of your experience.

 

No, these people have some balls to charge that much.

 

I'm gonna do pointblank soon........sometime early next year....online though...doing their ableton live certificate....can't afford 11K ...lol

 

Awesome! Have fun and learn tons!

 

Thanks all!

I was thinking first about SAE in L.A. or NY. they want 20K(!) for their program.
Was at Dubspot open house few months ago, looks great.

 

holy shit! is 11K for real? i mean what does a dubspot "diploma" mean anyway? its hilarious.

smart though.. its very similar to the gold rush or bitcoin mining! why try to make money form the end goal when you can sell equipment to the masses trying like hell instead? much more profitable and predictable *yes*

you cant count on making money OR success from music , what you CAN count on is a human beings greed to get their own slice of the pie *yes*

Here's a quote from sae:

The cost of the program is $21,512, but that includes the Apple Laptop Package (details attached).

 

Exactly my thoughts. In the end most of the people who take that courses do not know much more than I do, after a couple of years of self studying books, tutorials, forums and Youtube.

I'd rather study audio engineering on a regular university (which is completely free where I live) than producing some tech house beats on fancy equipment.

 

It's an experience to live. Timothy have the chance to make it. Go man. Take evey little thing you can get. Not only the tuto but everything.
You can meet cool folks there, stay in touch with them, begin workin' with them or so … Visit NY maybe make a 'lil tour to Boston @ Berkley school of music and see how things goes with musicians. Go into clubs …

I don't know if you are a kid or a man ;-) But who cares, go !

After said that, be sure to don't fool yourself. Work hard. This chance is quite rare theses days.

I wish you all the best, and let us know, for sure

Cheers

 

Thanks davea!
Will do.

Let you know in the end if it was fun, good, bad, useful, useless or whatever. Stay tuned!

 

There's a quote in Europe: "It's not stupid who charges the price, it's stupid who pays it." Whateva', I don't judge anybody, I just remembered about this quote.

 

Best of luck timothy! hope you kill it and nice for sticking with cubase! (it stoo easy to find someone to teach you ableton these days)
didnt mean to sound overly negative, please give us an review of the course when your done! peace

 

One of my friends studied at Dubspot for three months. The program was the same with yours. He's still an amateur even if he learned lots of techniques.
It takes time to master on music production.
No school, no course can make you expert but contribute to your path. Make your own practices and just have fun at learning new things @ Dubspot.

YouTube Tutorials are the best stuff these days. I studied 2 years Sound Engineering&Music Production, learned nothing. Learned by own.

 

Nice Good Luck to you and success be careful on the Streets of NYC
