Hi All,
This is my first post on this forum in a long time, so I guess I could be re-considered a newbie.
I am currently finishing off an IT degree (you're thinking - "Why is this guy telling me this?") here in Brisbane. Over the past few years I've been *trying* to get my band happening, and in the past year a friend and I have been putting together a home recording studio. (digi001 etc.) I'm at a stage where I'm just about to complete this degree, I've got a part time job doing web design, and I really don't know which way to go. Sound Engineering or IT, or both, or neither and do more study (sound engineering). IT in Australia (and I imagine its the same pretty much everywhere else) is growing pretty rapidly... and I've already been offered a full time job... but I want to do something that makes me happy. What I really like doing is the whole band thing/recording thing... I've got a bit of equipment (but nothing compared to what is out there), and I know the basics on how to use it, I'm just really confused about which way to go... which road to take.
Any advice, comments, abuse would be greatly appreciated! (or perhaps someone knows a web site with material on this, I know there's plenty of support for recording etc).
