Hey how's it going,
My name's Damien and I currently study sound production/engineering at Ayrshire College in Scotland. At this point I think I have it down on what I want to do when I leave education, just wanted to ask a few questions though.
Ok so, I'm geared towards sound engineering/mixing and I wanted to know how you started off with nothing to acquiring all the equipment, software and tools needed to pursue your career. At the moment all I have is a decent set of headphones, macbook, a midi controller, komplete audio 6 and free daws (ProTools First, Ableton Live Lite and Cubase LE)
As a student, money is a rare thing. I was wondering if there is anything I can do at the moment to make some cash using the equipment I have. I do have resources available to me at the college but due to copyright restrictions I can't 'work' with it.
Any tips on building clientele from this stage? My networking goes as far as the local rehearsal studio that usually only caters to small time local acts.
Thanks in advance, Damien.
