Point Blank Online School wants $2,400 for two courses
this are the only two I could find actual pricing for
Suggested on Cubase's Site
ONLINE STEINBERG CERTIFIED TRAINING PARTNERS
Berklee
Manchester MIDI School
SAE
Point Blank Online School
Sonic Academy
Berkelee seems like the logical choice (certification from there probably hold more weight)
I just want to fluff up my portfolio on the audio engineer side and on the production side with artists I produce
what music of mines get put in film,tv,commericals etc....
try to build for the future
in 7 years I'll be 40 and by that time I would like to be doing 40k to 70k a year from my online and offline business ventures dealing with audio engineering and audio/media company
I guess I don't really see how getting certified in Cubase would help with your goals... Anyone (well not anyone but most ppl) can learn to use a specific software program well just by using it a lot.
Classes in audio theory and application would be way more beneficial I'd think. I could be way off here, but I doubt most people care if you're certified in a specific software.
Take what I say with a grain of salt, cuz I don't know a ton about it. Just my two cents!
I have a few certifications from Pro Tools via my school the conservatory of recording arts and science. I also have the Logic cert as well. I dont really feel that its worth the money bc no one will know what task you had to perform to become certified in the program. It may only take you to pass a written exam. Especially if you thinking about doing an online course. I dont believe that is the manufacture certification as well. As long as you can run a session it doesn't matter if your certified or not. Most of my certs where mandatory. The others I got just to gain more knowledge about Pro Tools and to do trouble shooting at other studios. Ultimately it is your choice tho. Good Luck!
No offense to anyone that went through a training program to get "certified", but it's practically useless. If it helps you learn, then that's a good thing, but the certification itself practically means nothing.
F*ck certification. What a waste. The only reason to get certified is so you can put it on a resume to get an intern or 2nd position at a studio. Otherwise, it has more value as fuel for the fireplace.

I agree, it's a waste of time and money. Beside the fact that the technical/intellectual level is usually ridiculously low, the demand for certificated people is absolutely ZERO.
Being an audio engineer is not equivalent to being a chemical engineer lol. The music industry has figured out that you don't need to be specially trained to make great stuff. In fact.... those who are un"trained" can be even better.
If I ever got certified... it would be just as an added bonus. Literally just something to brag about and to fill wall space. It probably would look nice to have clients see that on the wall. However.. nobody walks into a studio looking for that certificate to verify they made the right choice of engineer, the way they do a doctor's office.
okay guys I get what your saying yeah it's to get higher end clients who pay with corp. money
I'm talking about big companies
I want to get some serious clients pass recording,mixing for artists and mixing producers beats
I know guys over at gearslutz have these kind of clients
anyone here have clients who are big companies???
I wonder what the guys over @gearslutz would say lol....
about certiciation as they can be on that kind of stuff naturally
most are "school educated when it comes to audio engineering"
Still in truth even "Big Companies"/corporate audio don't care about DAW certifications. A degree and experience ,yea, (mainly experience) but not DAW certs. I got a few while in audio school and truthfully most of them are a joke. With some of these corporate (live) gigs being certified in things like SMAART may look nice. But the weight of it will be how well you operate.
For example, Avid Pro Tools operator cert isn't about being efficient in PT its more about knowing quick keys and tech facts (selling points). My school also had an Avid cert on its own which was a joke because it was easy enough that a 5th grader could do it.
Def not worth thousands of dollars. Your experience and body of work will be far more important.

you know I tracked over 1000 local artists "no names outside of their own homie circle"
now I have to track and mix artists and producers with a small buzz
that's going to be my goal here in the next two year do a least 200 mixes and track at least 50 christian artists
hopefully some of their songs will jump off
has anyone actual got any corporate gigs/contracts/clients???
