And one of us actually OWNS a studio...
You are exactly what Im talking about. You stupidly paid the money, got screwed, and need to defend it to make that 5 grand MINIMUM feel better...
Not once have I or my Mentor EVER hired someone because of certification.
And finally the BEST argument of all-
99% of the people certified in protools CANNOT MAKE A LIVING AT IT. Hmmmm I think that says it all. And of the people I work with here and at my Mentors, NONE of the people who are actually GOOD are certified... And neither is my Mentor.
So when all the people I know here in LOS ANGELES and OC ( gee I think its a HUB of the best TALENT in the world) and not ONE is certified other than the people who CANT GET WORK.... That says it all.
So argue all you want but I would bet you haven't been a working professional for very long. Im going on 20 years...
But thats it for me- Im actually making a record today. Good luck brushing up on your course work!
