Just checking this out for the future, what are the best places to study music production in south east england?
i have a question to the english guys here. In germany only opportunities to hear music related courses seems to be SAE or a university study course. We dont have institutions like college. SAE seems really expensive, study course lasts for 5 years here and u have big preconditions, entrance examinations, u have to play a distinct classical instrument.
So as far as i understood in uk u have many colleges besides university offering courses about this without this hints. Also read producers like goldie and exile offers seminars casually. But what u get there actually and how long does this training last? 1,2,3 years? Can u choose single courses about mastering, sound design, music theory, DSP, etc...?
Do u get any degree. The SAE degree isnt publically accredited afaik. I mean producing music is popular, high demand from every education level, but there are also some tricky aspects like mastering or DSP, where u have to bother with math, programming, acoustics, psychoacoustics, physics. Is such stuff covered in these courses or do u have to a uk university to learn about this. Music is an art and i dont think generally u need heavy preparatory training like studying natural sciences. But some of these courses seem to be only about learning a DAW, marketing by powerpoint presentations, no practical exercises, pretty sketchily teaching stuff. Ableton/Reason have pretty detailed manual, more covered in it as in any utube viddy i saw. Thats not what im interested in investing so much time in a course, rather the heavy technical and music theoretical aspects.
Anyone here can say how profound these college, SAE courses are?
thx
