So you didn't manage to get a job in a commercial studio then?, And freelancing was a little bit lean, eh!
Here our multiple local municipal recording facilities (that now far outnumber commercial ones) run continuos Battle of the Bands competitions, so hopes of free recording studio time abound far more than the ethic of paying for time in commercial facillities that have proper track record.
When you listen to their colleges culture and product on a day by day basis as I do, the lecturers tell them that you don't actually need a great howling guitar amp to record
a truly great guitar sound, there is a plug-in for that now.Etc Etc Etc.
It has now reached the saturation point in the UK that Education its self is the main enemy of this Cottage Industry and the interests of most of those on this site.
Wheres that nice senator Macarthy when we need him most?.

im pretty sure that "nice" senator from the 1950s is dead. while i do appreciate that you have an opinion, i did say in my original post that i wanted to keep this post clean of opinions on whether an education is needed or not in our business. tutt if you have any gripes with it, then please post in the moan zone.
