Now that the basics are covered, you are ready to dive into the advanced tactics in mixing, production & career building. Some of the things we’ll cover:
Phase 3 is the final phase of the Program. Your last two months will be very different than the prior 10 months. Instead of a set schedule of classes each week you will be tasked with building your own schedule for a Thesis Project that will serve as the launchpad to your career. You heard that right . . . it’s now time for your first professional project. You get to choose your path. Will you be a producer? An artist? An engineer? Perhaps a sound designer? You get to decide and we will directly assist you in making the dream come true. This is the first project of your professional portfolio . . . choose wisely!
