My thoughts on studying audio production · What is on Andrea Asteroid's mind?

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: It's an asteroid here, and for this episode, I am
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: going to be talking about whether it is worth it
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: to study audio production, because here's the thing. There are
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: some things that need to be taken in consideration, like
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: how recording has evolved in getting to the point to
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: where bands they can pull their money together by recording
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: equipment and record themselves. Then there is the odds of
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: getting an internship because of how many are available in
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: comparison to how many students there are. And then there
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: is taking general education classes that you probably wouldn't take
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: if they weren't part of the degree, which some would
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: debate me. But the reason why some would interject on
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: some of those last points is because they went to
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a music conservatory. So they're probably telling me, oh, just
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: going to a conservatory, you don't have to take those classes,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and oh, they'll find an internship for you. Which it's
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a topic into itself talking about conservatories, because when you
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: attend one, you are there like maybe four and a
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: half to five hours, five days out of the week.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: It costs more. And surprisingly they would also be the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: same people that would advise, don't have another job, just
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: focus on your classes because of the time it takes,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: so when you stew over those things, it's very easy
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to be turned off and be like, no, it isn't
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: worth it. But at the same time, music is a
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: passion and there is no better way of testing that
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: they go into those classes because of getting to know
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: your other classmates and hearing about their music taste and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: what they're into. And there's nothing like being in a
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: studio and even if it is just your bedroom and
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: getting that satisfaction of finishing a song. So to me,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: it's pretty much what you make of it. So just
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: make sure you're thinking clearly and what's the most important
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: to you. And that covers my top thoughts on whether
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I feel it is worth it to study audio production
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: until the next one, Peace and Chicken Grease
