ive asked this same question over at NI fourms but everyone over there seems to be brain dead or something.
Anyway's I was watching the Traktor Pre-view's when dj denkem said there was a dj school in la. So are there realy college's and school's just for ableton and NI? Or is this just made up, Because I am thinking of taking some classes over the summer if these schools realy exsist.

" Berklee professor Kai Turnbull shows you how to invent new ways of making music using Ableton’s brand-new Live 5 software." They'll teach you Live 5 just in time for Live 7 to be out in 6 months.

The only thing you're going to learn is that those schools will teach you nothing you couldn't learn on your own. Great way to get into debt for no reason whatsoever. Read the manual and the tips n tricks sticky, then crank out some CDs of anything, just do it. Hell, make a mix and post the .als here and let the douche bags here guide you.

If you have to go to school do something you can use, like an MBA, that's an easy and overvalued degree. You can still do music with a boring degree, but you can't get a job with a music degree.

Da Dude didn't say he was after a job, he just wants to study some audio, and I say go for it.

MBA? No way. LFO.

For NI it will be a 'crash course'

LFO?? I don't catch you. All the people I've known who got MBAs said it was easy, they do it while still working full time. It's a degree the average joe can get with good bang for the buck. I'd never do it, I got a tech degree, I'd shoot myself in the balls before I went into business.

If you can swing the $1,000, why not? Classes are always too expensive. Even the classes that pop up in various cities are a few hundred bucks. I've been tempted but at least half the class would be shit I have down pat. I'm sure I'd learn some new stuff but they always seem way overpriced. Free would be nice.

I've attended a few quality free courses on Ableton Live at this place called TekServ in NYC. Learnd some good stuff there, and it was entirely free.

Then there's tons of free tutorials, and video tutorials on youtube too.

Learn it up then start selling your services as a teacher of ableton or as a producer. I see dudes trying to market this type of service often on craigslist.

They have a couple courses dealing with Live, and I'm negotiating with them about doing guest lectures for them on using NI software both live and in the studio. As it sits, they cover Reaktor somewhat and also cover using NI RTAS plugins in a PT environment, but neither very well from what I've heard.
