Career Advice
Hey everybody,
This post is for those who work in the music production industry. I'm thinking about begining a career in music production. I play drums in a band, and we got some pro tools gear to record our stuff with. I've gotten really into the mixing and production side of it, and am now thinking about making a career out of it. It's not something i just think is cool and fun or whatever, it's something that i've developed a real passion for, something that i love to learn about and get better at. Right now i do information tech and it really bums me out. Pretty stable career though. What does it take to be a successful mix engineer/producer? How risky of a career move is it? I am considering doing the digidesign pro tools certification classes as a start, are those worth it? I'm sure the knowledge is good, but does the certificate mean anything to anybody? Any advice or warnings? I'm 26 and live in Boston MA by the way.
Thanks!
-Dallas
