Hi everyone 👋
I'm a producer/beatmaker, I mainly work with Logic Pro, and I'm at a stage where I want to take the leap from learning on my own at home to a more professional environment. My goal is to produce, record, and mix for real artists, and understand how a studio works from the inside.
My question is more practical than academic:
Do you think a production school offers anything you can't learn by working directly in a real studio or collaborating with other musicians?
For those already working in the industry, what was more important when you started: formal training or practical experience?
What skills do you think are most lacking when someone leaves school and enters the real world?
I'm not looking for degrees, but rather to improve my skills, work with artists, and sound professional.
Any personal experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated 🙏
