Let me know if you have any luck, as I want a job, too!!
The Source engine experience could be valuable, depending on what kind of work you want to do, and the sound synthesis.
In my experience, and I do not work for a studio, yet
If you are in a big area like Nashville, you will have more luck as an entry level person.
But, people still care about real world things: reliability, punctuality, easy to work with, good under pressure, etc.
In smaller areas, the studio owner needs you to keep the rooms full.
You gotta find your own work, essentially.
Can you bring clients in?
IT takes money just to turn all the power on, you know?
The intern route is still the best route, if you can afford it.
Grow like mold on them.
And, it's still very much a Mac world as far as studios.
I know nuendo has kinda changed that a bit.
I use Windows, but can use Mac just as easily. (at least for PT)
There are a lot of tape machines and analog consoles out there, too.
So I would lay off the "digital" aspect, with the exception of the sound synthesis and game engine knowledge.
I would consolidate some of your bullet points there.
Signal flow is signal flow.
I'm a "concept" guy, if that makes sense.
I understand the concept of why things are doing what they do.
Whether DAW or analog, many of the same concepts still apply.
If you can use a Lexicon 480L, you can use a plug-in, you know?
And, learn to use Autotune
Hope this helps, and I hope to learn from this thread as well, as I am still contemplating a move to Nashville.
Good luck,
-D
