Anyone applied for Audio and Music Tech in UWE?

[teqh]

Sent my ucas off and shit!
Anyone on the board applied as well?

[dedman]

First year now mate, big course but make sure you're brushed up on your maths for the engineering part, tis hardcore!

[teqh]

Ill be right on maths, don't think i am able to go through revising maths tho!

[dedman]

mate its solid haha this french guy teaches the engineering principles module.. the rest of it is real interesting bar maybe media , but yeah the french guy tottally impossible to follow, hard accent so its hard to distinguish what hes saying and he is just far to advanced hahaha!

[minifletch]

I've applied

Good to know theres some 'dubsteppers' on the course, my current college is just full of headbangers haha

[bmills]

i donno what UWE is but I'm a music/music tech major and it's real interesting...i've met a shitload of dubsteppers

[LordBid]

Man it sucks I want to switch majors to music tech so badly now that I have discovered this shit but im already balls deep in my art degree... It would be such a fucking waste of time to start over now so I have to be a hobbyist and try to take as many music classes as I can

[dedman]

to be honest i havent learnt loads of new stuff, but the studio work for recordings pretty good!

its just good obviously if you want a career in this!

On my second year, wicked course! Its alot of work at times but its good if your interested in it. Im sure 90% of the course will agree programmings the big focus!

University of the West of England my babber

[muttleydubs]

got a few mates on that course...apparently its not amazing, dont actually learn a lot about making tunes, more about making synths and shit

had one mate who dropped off it and went to Uni east london says the course is much better there

no kill joy

[gravity]

not meaning to seem like a twat, but as someone who did music tech at uni may i just chime in and say... dont bother. save your money, get a job and save up for some gear. you can learn all they teach you at uni by just buying a few books and searching on the net.

they will probably teach you a lot of stuff that you will find completely irrelevant to what you want to do, and for the most part you will be expected to go and do the majority of your learning for yourself anyway. the only real benefits to uni are you get to use the posh studios (only lasts till you leave, plus you have to compete with thousands of people to book them) and you can meet people into similar stuff to you/musicians, but then you can do that anyway by hanging about at your local record shop/dubstep night (or whatever)/rehearsal studio, or just meeting up with people off the web.

go to uni by all means, but do something that might help you towards your dreams, but can also be used in other areas (e.g. electronics, acoustics, computer programming, business, something like that).

yea mate spot on.

you knows it

[dedman]

Yeah but to be fair, if you go and do a course where you just make tunes for 3 years, where do you expect to be at the end of it? a big time producer? don't think so!

This course is hard, and yeah there is alot of focus on programming but you also learn good studio practice etc, and it's alot more realistic.

I dont intend on being a big shot producer by the end, ( all though this would be sweet ) but you'll have a degree from a good course and good knowledge. Then you can go on to look into getting work in audio/media fields.

Im personally going to try and get into vocal dubbing

[dedman]

oooh and plus UWE is in Bristol.


need I say more?

[thierry_le_dj]

dam i wish i did a course like this when i left school!

[sminch]

gets better in 3rd year trust. its a good course, some bullshit modules but at least it teaches you how to make ur own synths, program audio, and all the sciency things about audio processing you NEED to know if ur gonna be a good producer. Its all good doing a course in production but if u dont know how it all works ur not gonna be original!

p.s. bristol is amazing aswel

I do music tech at UWS, it's great, learned so much and i've only been there since October 09
