I use quotes to make sure that my comments are taken in the proper context.
You challenged me to go to the web site to prove to me what excellent career oppoturnities await FullSail graduates. In doing so I didn't prove your point, I proved mine.
Even in the best year, '02 graduates, FullSail could boast of less than 10% of the graduating RA class working in the field that they devoted $40,000 odd dollars and however many months of their lives to. Yet your response is to dismiss the results as irrevelant when they no longer support your position...
I tend to only pass on the recomendations of others as my experience in audio recording is, I am sure, less than yours. But I have learned so much that I want to pass on what knowledge I feel compentent to pass on, such as I did, to my distress, with you.
I felt then, and I feel now, that you are only interested in hearing from Yes men. That you have no interest in honest advice. That the people on this board are throwing pearls that you do not want.
Hope you find wealth and happiness. Hope I do too.
NO bob, I am not interested in yes men, Im interested in TRUTHE..
even in the best year at full sail they still wouldnt know what there students are doing if the students themselves never told them, go to a highschool and ask how many students went on to get jobs, SHIT they wouldnt know in my highschool we had over 4200 kids and not a big school either... The only thing a highschool knows is if the student went to college or a trade school.. Your talkin nonsence, now if im offending i apologize but there would be no way to track a student that graduates unless the school was like TUFTS university here in boston where it costs 60k a semester and they have a total of like 800 students.. places like that would be able to keep track of them.. Its on the students discression...

umm..right.. if you read my posts I very much did, I just didnt take the time out to break down your posts like you had so generously did for me.. I proved that school is state of the art, world renowned, and worth it for anyone whos willing to put in 150% in like any other type of school.. You get out of it what you put in, if you really look at it you dont have to go to school for anything except for like being a lawyer or a doctor, u have to go to school for those careers, I mean I could read a thousand books on open heart surgeory n be mr fixit with hearts but they are not going to let me into the ER without a PHD now will they? same with not passing the bar @ law school... NOW.. if I wanted to be a business man i could read 5 books and start my own business, or a cook, I could jus read books and master it myself as Ive done with other things.. BUT, when in fact you do apply for the job and you tell them yes you are familiar with this, this and this.. what happens when the other person says yes im familiar with this, this and this and has a BA in that category.. Do you really think they will even consider you? I called 5 studios up and asked them about it Cuz Im not willing to pay 34k for something I can learn on my own, which in turn I will probably not go to fullsail now but it doesnt mean it wouldnt help me out alot, Ive seen the wages sound engineers make and without being in there for 10-15 years they make shit money, So ill have to choose another career path probably business and create my own studio.. But this subject is jus like anything else, school helps no matter which way u slice, all the people that went to fullsail and arent working in the industry now is becuz they are WEAK, they didnt put enough passion into learning it, and they gave up.. Much like they probably will do with the rest of the things in there life, Becuz If I spent 34k on school best believe Im reading every book I get and then some, weither the school is good or not id just make good of there studio equipment and such.. enjoy..
QUOTE MEEEEEEE
.. with your better converters and your lower latency we'll see how much better it sounds, that sounds pretty straight to me... And I stated for overall value, meaning for having 1 input, it also has a fire wire input, misc 1/8 jack inputs for surround sound, fiber optics in/out, spif l/f, coaxial cable, midi inputs, is THX certified as well as it comes with a pretty good software program, overall an M audio does not beat that, read my post before, overall I stated, weither you looked over it or not its in there.. But seriously If you guys are right then your right im the one thats gonna byte the bullet, Quote that too
