Article Directory :: Reference & Education Articles The Trends in Music Recording Careers By Kristin Gabriel Republish: EasyPublish™ Published: 04Jun2008 Word count: 469 Viewed: 725 time(s) Get Free Content For Your Site With the economic trends being more challenging over the last few months, you may be one of a bunch of students out there who are weighing your options when it comes to your next step after graduation. Is college an option? Or are there other ways to get into the music recording business? Working in the music recording industry means a chance to work with top recording artists and musicians. There are many different careers in the industry. You could be a music producer who guides the shape of sound, or a a technical-audio or sound engineer who captures sound. The music business is trending towards moving online, so it is really important to learn as much about the music recording side of the business as you can. Digital music distribution over the Internet has really changed the landscape of the music business. Music technology has also grown quite a bit. Musicians today have to have a good knowledge about technology -- some of which is software based. The virtual world means having to be famaliar with software, plus there is still some hardware based technologies. Donny Baker is a music producer and studio engineer at Elephant Symphony in Glendale, California says he likes teaching via the mentor approach because once his students graduate, they are engineers. Technology is constantly changing but in this industry it is changing backwards. Baker's mentor approach works, and the best part is that you'll get a real world learning experience in a New York music recording school or one in Los Angeles. In fact there are a number of students who actually went to college, then did a mentor perogram afterwards to REALLY learn the business. At one Los Angeles music recording school, a student from Atlanta said, "During my apprenticeship I got to meet P. Ditty, Master P. and Jermaine Dupri. I had the honor of working with David Banner in Atlanta. I can't even explain to you how much this program did for me. I thank you and bless you." There is just tons of stuff that the mentor programs teach that you just don't, or can't get in traditional schools. The curriculum qualifies graduates for positions as a music producer or a recording studio engineer. The best thing is, students are taught in one-on-one private sessions in a real recording studio. It's an apprentice type program - under the direct supervision of a music industry professional working on real-world projects. Plus there's no experience necessary, and students can take classes part time during night or weekend sessions. The teachers who are mentors in the music recording business know how to succeed in the very competitive recording and engineering field - so they end up passing their knowledge and experience on to the students. It is a win-win situation. Writer and social media expert Kristin Gabriel works with the Entertainment Career Connection, Inc.

  In any good story, there are heroes and villains, clear-cut in their intentions and motives. History however, is not always so black and white; the man who is a savior to some is a killer to others.
