Parmit, while your story is very endearing, can I offer you just a wee bit of advice? You mention going to University, and having secured a little studio job - I would suggest in both these areas, learning how to spell, punctuate and phrase your sentences will help you equally as being able to make sik beatz!

I mean this with the best of intentions.

It might be of some use when writing essays, projects and dissertations for the aforementioned degree course.

Yes, but it's not a forum for angry teenagers! Try and make an effort, it's polite and you'll get a better response to your questions. The practice will no doubt benefit you in the real world as well.

That's a fair enough response, and one I half expected. I don't care one little bit, to be honest. But I've seen it happen so many times on this forum, where folk come in and ask a question, or post something, and it's littered with txt spk, and no-one takes it seriously.
The choice is yours.

parmit, I'm writing as a forum moderator. I'm sorry if you feel some of the regulars have been less than helpful, but they have a point. Just read pretty well any thread on this site and you will see that we don't do text-speak. We try to communicate with each other.

And having seen a hundred threads or more about people's aspirations at college/uni or whatever (and some of these regulars teach such courses and are part of the admissions process), I can assure you they are well intentioned in saying you probably need to use the rest of the world's preferred means of communication to maximise your own chances, because the rest of the world is not going to change for you.

There's no need for hostility (by anyone). But to the extent that there's a question in your OP - I'm not sure there is, strictly - it seems to be about going to uni to improve your skills.

Which is somewhat inviting people to make suggestions as to how you might best achieve that.

seriously, nobody's having a go at you - it's just that round here people prefer less text-ese. we all pick up on each other's typos just the same, so you're not being singled out here. hope you stick around and can learn as much as i have from here.

What is amazing about Italians is that they speak their dialect (which is a different language) at home and among people from the same region and standard Italian to outsiders or foreigners. They have absolutely no difficulty doing this, it is normal for them.
Therefore just because you use text abbreviations only on a mobile you can still use standard English on a forum. It is not that difficult. Remember some people on this forum do not have English as a native language anyway.

I am going off-topic for one sentence; in Italy, Spain, France and Germany, speaking a language correctly is admired, in the U.K. it is seen as negative.

However Parmit, I have been to college and got a career and a life. You presumably want the same so get advice where you can find it, such as on this forum.

Hi P

Welcome to ere foruuuume.

I saw your post last nite, i personally thought it was quite cool.
I got the feeling that you were being light hearted and just wanted to genuinely findout about peoples stories
(& when needed you could write properly).

When we had an Off-Topic forum section, your post would have been ideal, we would have responded in similar text speak, welcomed you, had a laugh.

Sadly we no longer have an OT, on its day it was one of the best OT, built a wonderful feeling of community.

Anyhoo, best wishes with all your endeavours.

(I started out being trained in music grades whilst a 1st yr at school in the mid 80's...
Me Mom Gawwwwd bless Her, paid for my piano & violin music lessons ...
i am still as talentless now as i was then, though computers have helped me hide much of my inabilities & mistakes,
allowing me to make something resembling "music" )

thanks mate...yea i was...oh well lol

am i allowed to right lol???........

No, you're absolutely right. And for my little jibe I apologise - I made a dangerous assumption from the way you speak (write), that you were a clueless 'producer'. Funny how a few words can change your perception, eh?
But therein lies the problem. To actually be an audio engineer takes years, and your initial enquiry about 'trying to do music as a carear' [sic] prompted my reply. You will need to be able to write and spell properly if you go to University - it's a fact.

Oh, and there weren't too many Public schools on my council estate!

I never imagined that everyone here did. I went to Immingham comprehensive - so good they've closed it down now and given the premises to a bunch of bible bashers.

Still, now that you understand the conventions of this particular forum, perhaps we can have a sensible conversation.

Well now you are writing in English, it`s Sarciness not sarcyness.

Ivan, Head of Speling Poleece.

P.S. You can`t help being from East London - somebody has to come from there.
I`m an old ex-West Ender myself and moved to wildes Cambridgeshire years ago.... For what its wporth I still have trouble understanding the locals.
A thought: If you already have a job in a studio, you are way ahead of most of the folks who have actually already graduated from Uni.
My advice to you would be to hang onto that studio job with both hands, knuckles white, and maybe think about expanding your theoretical knowledge by doing part time or evening courses on top.

I would firstly like to hear these credits because personally I know people who have been involved with high profile acts and you know what..... they wouldn't be thinking about going to university.

Also many people who are dyslexic still try and spell things properly and structure their sentances properly. So my advice is that if you are already being trusted to engineer high profile acts, then you don't need to learn anything from uni.

I went tae a Scawtish comprehensive school, dae ye have ony problem with that pal?

After that, pater was stationed abroad, so I went to a Royal Naval comprehensive school. In fact, in the Med it was so hot in the summer, that we only went to school in the forenoon; so I was home by 12.30 hours Zulu time. Then of to the leeward side of the island for some water sports (oops! didn't meant that).

You won't be the only one who texts. I'm sure nearly every member of this forum does that on their mobile phone. But this isn't a mobile phone and there isn't a 180-character limit per message.

Generally speaking, you don't find people correcting each other's English here unless there's an amusing typo, what's been written is unclear, or the error itself could cause some music tech-related problem (such as complaining that Linux won't respond to a text command which has been misspelled in the first place). Our first priority is usually helping out with the original poster's query or joining in the discussion, not pointing out their misplaced apostrophes, so long as the meaning is clear.

By the way, I don't recall anyone suggesting that East Londoner equals rapper equals murderer.

I already have a diploma from the city lit in holborn in midi and audio which i done in the evenings.
the studio i work in is fine for me at the moment but the whole idea of me going to uni is to get a higher paid position...working with people who might actually be talented.
i was looking at sae in london or brighton uni......

--------------------
http://www.myspace.com/musicpagedavidlee

parmit - trust me on this one. DO a search on SAE in particular but on Music Yech/Recording/etc courses in general and look at where the overwhelming majority if opinions lie, even among those who have completed these courses.

I can`t think of a thing you could learn at SAE etc that you can`t learn "on the side" so to speak.
PLEASE if you genuinely do have paid employment in a studio (and I am not doubting you for a second) STAY THERE.

Your best way to improving your career path since you are already a paid professional in the industry is to keep plugging away at what you are doing, network like crazy to spread your name around and just build that reputation.

The money will come automatically if you are good enough and get yourself about enough.
Most of the courses available are geared towards wannabes and in fact there are several posts in this same area decrying the poor quality of MTech courses, never mind anything more soph9isticated.

SAE etc are fine if you just want to educate yourself for th3e hell of it, but the likelihood of the end qualification getting you back in to a job at the same level as the one you leave to do the course is pretty remote.
Ask any of the studio owners on here who they would look at more seriously as an employee: someone recently graduated from SAE (forexample) or someone with a proven track record and a willingness to learn more.
Was the course(s() you did a BTech, or what?

--------------------
Me? But I`m such a loveable old bugger!

i no im not garunteed a job(ok dnt be mad if ive spelt that wrong because i dont no how to)but i was thinkin for more of the meeting people side of it......i network my ass off but i wanted to look at album in the shop and think..i recorded that,its what i want to do and the only thing im passionate for.

the course i did was a btec but this was going back around 5 years ago and was mainly about midi channels ect and creating hit points in cubase chopping audio ect...but it helped me but i prefer audio work which i have more or less learned myself......if not in music then id like 2 try to get into cartoons or computergames.



and note the myspace link is my personal music recorded at home on a g4 daul 450 which a i have plist edited 2 make logic 8 run

i mean it can hanlde like 5 plugins lol
