 The No Future Jobs Scheme Part 3 – Not Necessarily!By Fran Ashcroft Continuing the No Future theme – there has been a strong response to my two previous posts on the subject, to the extent that we’re thinking of doing a special RP event primarily for recording students. At the risk of being blacklisted forever on the lecture circuit or losing the occasional seat on the panel at insufferable songwriting workshops, it seems clear to me that many of you feel shortchanged by some college courses, either in lack of studio time, one to one mentoring or simple info to help you earn a living once you qualify. I’m sure there are plenty of other areas of concern, so I’d like to ask you to contact us with your thoughts and ideas of what will best plug the holes/ gaps in your knowledge, so we can structure the event to help you the most. It’s not my intention to overly criticise or be too hard on the colleges (oh yeah?) – I do understand they have to design everything to be quantifiable in terms of educational qualifications - but inevitably there are things they fall short on. There will be a limited number of places available, in the North West UK, as we don’t wish to turn it into yet another lecture – that would defeat the object! I’ll look forward to your comments and ideas….. |

The place where I live can hardly be compared to the rest of the world. Our new is usualy ten years behind so maybe my following statement will be irrelevant…
It seems to me that the most overlooked subject in the area of sound engeeniring is acoustics.
There’s like one guy in this country that designs and builds acoustic solutions for studios and really knows what he does. Many people seem to forget about it completely. They think that it’s enough to put some absorbing materials on the walls and that should do it. I saw people buy extremely expensive monitors and put them in rooms that just destroyed their acuracy.
Very much looking forward to this, should it come together. I’ll keep my eyes open for any details. Thanks to both Fran and Mike for putting this together!
Hi Jack,
we’re just finalising the event right now – and will have all the info available very soon!
