Personally speaking, I'm still willing to assist for a visiting engineer I think highly of. You never stop learning.
I totally agree even after 20 years of recording there is still so much to learn, and I'm having a blast doing it! The last 3 years or so have been great I've finally got some of the good gear
Being self taught I would love to assist to find out how many things I'm doing wrong
My post was really more about the Pro tools certification type schools, and whether the expert Protools rating carries any weight at the Big City Studios
I record bands for a living and I can't seem to find the time to get into the inner guts of protools, i've been using more like a tape deck with great editing, I worry way more about the sound and playing.
As far as the recording schools go I guess it would get you up to speed a bit but how long would you have to work to pay that off?
