Online Production Courses

[hyper kid]

What do people think of the different online production courses now available?? I know that there are some pretty decent ones around, with full tutor feedback and webchats etc. But I just wanted to get some more opinions on whether people think they're worth it?

[wormcode]

Got any links to post? I have only seen ones that are program specific like Cubase, and I think the one @ Full Sail and SAE but not sure if they have full tutor/student one-on-one type things.. there's a couple more but I can't remember the names.

I think that I would like to work as a tutor for production

[phrex]

go the the nearest high school/college. print 20 papers with
''production course
if you like, dnb, dubstep or grime, and you want to produce it blablabla bla bla in my studio bla bla bla with professional equipment bla blabla"

put them on every wall at least 10 guys will call you! i have done it just few days back. now i'm giving for 15 pounds an hour a beginner course.

I have seen the ones with SAE and Point Blank and DJ Academy...

But I reckon the ones on this site look the best:

I'm pretty interested in the course on Mixing in Logic (http://www.pointblankus.com/mixing_dance_music.php)...as my basic production skills are failing to get me that crisp pro production sound. Anyone been on a course like this or know of any other good ones or cheaper ones with the same level of commitment and a time with a pro producer as a tutor??

I think the information you pick up from a physical tutor is really invaluable. They can share their own personal knowledge and is worth a thousand pounds £££

I reckon your bang on mate...Its gotta be worth a fair bit to get someone who has years of experience to give advice/input/feedback on your tracks/production skills.

in my opinion you can find far more information for free in forums and on youtube than these online courses offer, it's just their packaged up. Real personal tuition is probably more valuable but online most of the info you pay for can be got for free (not via piracy but via other people offering free tutorials), it just takes a bit more searching.

At the end of the day no amount of internet tutorials (or even real courses) are going to make you master the tools or make fantastic music, they teach you how to use the software and how to achieve certain techniques but it's only practice practice practice which makes you full proficient with the tools you use and gives you the ability to make good sounds.

I'm not say the courses are useless, they can be very valuable and give you the tools you need to get started but they are only the beginning of the journey.

Do I think they're worth it? Dunno, never done one haha.

That's the one I couldn't remember, haven't heard anything though.

If you really can not be assed to do your research on the net (which in fact you really should be !) In stead on doing online course go down to your local college and enroll on a btec nat dip in music course

[hyper kid]

Well I'm really looking to get my mixing up to scratch...at the mo i'm have some trouble with Compression, EQ, automation etc...I did a course a while ago and it was really good but i reckon I could do with some more help...any one know of any good tutorials or whatever? Or has anyone ever done an advanced production course covering this sort of stuff?

[hyper kid]

Bump this shit??? Still looking for some one who has done any kind of advanced mixing course?? I'm really in two minds about it...

[deadly_habit]

dpm't waste your cash if ya have a good brain. rather books, trade mags and experimenting. everyone i know who has done a pro audio school has told me i knew more and not waste cash for piece of paper. just be patient and take take and stuff yourself full of knowledge and hunt it down or experiment till found.

All the information you need is available for free on the internet. There are loads of good tutorials that are free to watch! There are loads of forums that have information you may want for free too.
