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

| well in my way of seeing this it's not what you know but what you can do with it... if i started to list all the softwares i've used, i think my hands would go numb after the first few hours...and since started using computers in the eighties, it would be a very fun (and nostalgic) list too! i'd rather hear a demo of the work, of have some personal references... but it's cool to know what you know... but you know enough is never enough.. i agree that the scripting part is the most rare thing in your resume... (i wouldn't list win xp and office, though, nowadays even my mother uses that...) i expect that somebody who can use a daw, can at least use a word processor.. it's good to try and work as an assistant in a studio to get real world experience.. i've been thru that... also build your own daw setup if you can and work a lot to get flight hours as they would say in pilot school... that will count a lot more if you're looking for a job.. also read a lot, get informed... keep it up...  and learn to digest equipment manuals on a daily basis...hands-on experience is what counts really...  good luck... an don't dismay... |

| cool. Thanks guys for the positive responses I will have demos to go along with this but just wanted some feedback on my wording for the paper part.  Thanks for the tip on the attitude. A couple things I've learned is to make sure your breath doesn't stink and don't act like you know everything thinking that will impress someone |
