Dubspot NYC
Dubspot NYC Posted on: 10.12.2013 by Myron Palis Hey guys so I've been really trying to figure out what I want to do in my future, and i believe music production/dj is what I would really love to get into. I've always had an interest in learning how to mix and produce. I am also new to this so this might be some stupid questions. First I wanted to hear first hand reviews from people who attended so if anyone has any input on the school itself that would be great. Also I did not want to go in without any type of gear
. I know in the school itself they have everything you would need, but my guess is i'm going to need stuff at home to practice, and do assignments. Can anyone help me out and tell me a few things I should look into purchasing before I start and I will be able to practice what I learn in the classroom at home. Is there anything I should know going into this, because I really do have high interest in it and I know this is something I would really put my all into. Any thing you guys can give me advice wise would be great like I said I'm new to all of this I have no experience, but look forward to learning from you guys and hopefully dubspot. We all have to start somewhere rite? lol thanks guys have a great day | |

My DJ residency as it is on a contract basis AND is at a college applies for this. From those grants I could earn multiple thousand dollars just by taking the time to build a proper application portfolio and fire it off to everyone offering money. To be safe let's say I earn $10,000. That sounds huge, but because my courses include work with visuals there are TONS of grants I could get. That makes the cost to me $6,500 on Cyber Monday. Throw that on a payment plan and I end up paying roughly $1,600 dollars every 6 months for two years. THAT is how I came up with that. Even if I don't get grants that is still less than $750 a month for two years and I have guaranteed employment in NYC. |

| Ervin Calvery 11.12.2013 | I would switch Reason out for turntablism, or even a bunch of private turntablism lessons. Given, I'm not much of a Reason guy, and a turntablist, but the opportunity to learn turntablism through Dubspot is unprecedented. |

I'm going HARD at this. |
| Valeri Holderness 10.12.2013 | It seems form your post that your just getting into mixing and production. First of all, welcome! Its a wonderful venture and it can definitely become something that you will enjoy doing for the rest of your life! Now this is probably not what you wanted to hear, but I don't believe you should spend thousands of dollars on dubspot classes when you haven't even given it a proper shot yet. Buy some cheap gear and start messing around by using youtube tutorials first. There is a lot your can learn by yourself for free; there is no point in paying someone to teach you the basics. Later on you may choose to get a professional musical education but at that point you'll be ready to learn more advanced things and it will be worth your money! |
