No, you can't intern at my studio. (Here's why.) 

Only since you were there 😘

It's always been that way.. good luck with the over saturated market!

You bloody are bloody amazing bloody

@@citystarproductions6703 bloody funny stuff.

Good point. I did my degree before RU-vid existed, just on that cusp- now it’s very different. But I can say for a fact no position I’ve ever had in media has actually asked me to see my credentials- it’s always about talent, skill set and work ethic. Hard to go wrong with those 3 things.

Great stuff! This really is where a lot of our industry is headed, glad to know you’re doing well 👍

@@adamsteelproducer Thankyou so much. You are a great Teacher 🙏

This is good talk. I think the influx of home producers and audio engineers was not just because of the surge of digital but also because of the pandemic. You'd really have to know someone in the industry to actually accomplish anything. So I'd say socializing and building circles is very important for aspirants.

Free Multitracks from pro sessions, would have killed for those when I first started

I see where you’re coming from, but it’s not the ability of applicants that is in question- it’s the landscape of the industry that has changed, and will continue to change. You may think you know about mixing/tracking/whatever, but so did I at 21 when I left uni. Turns out I knew very little that was practical for real world situations, but of course that was pre-RU-vid so there wasn’t much to learn that stuff from. I’ve had 10+ interns, and lemme tell ya, each one of them had a portfolio that was truly awful by pro standards. But that was ok- they’re there to learn. But we took them on (over a few years) as a media company with room to teach video, marketing, studio stuff where possible- and they were useful and helpful there. In a studio-only context though, there’s just not enough hours in the day to teach someone from scratch. Bigger studios can still do that, but they’re all closing day by day! Abbey road got saved from closure, Maida Vale just closed, Air and Townhouse are gone etc etc… Opportunity is out there, you’ve just got to be aware now of broader horizons if you want to maximize your chances. That’s what the videos really all about, despite a few naysayers trying to argue their own points…

@@adamsteelproducer Thanks for replying!

Napster happened.

when they started stealing musicians' music you can make no product and sell it for 1/4000th of a cent and expect to stay in business

Easier said than done. It takes so much time to teach an intern how to work properly, then you have to double check everything, I’ve found you actually lose time. Source: I had 11 interns in the media company over 4 years. Lovely kids, didn’t actually save me much time. And I’m not in a position to pay a professional staff member right now so….

@@adamsteelproducer Sure, but even when you hire somebody who isn't an intern, they're still going to have to learn your methods, work habits, etc. You'll be paying them the whole time they are getting spun up on working in your studio. That's why a lot of times interns will end up getting offered a full time job at the end of their internship... They basically did their "training" for free.

I’m not saying it doesn’t exist, I’m saying the number of opportunities is going down and the number of applicants is going up. It’s unsustainable. A sample size of one doesn’t make a meaningful statistic.

Just a 4k monitor. Touch screens are a wonderful idea and a terrible source of back pain! Anything over a certain size seems to be ergonomically unfeasible long term. I’ve tried…

@@adamsteelproducer Thank you for the reply... big 4K mouse and a 1 channel daw controller will do for me then cheers

Doesn’t it come in a pack?

@@adamsteelproducer ive got flats and rounds for my basses from them never got a sticker

You get to a competent level first then dry hire studios as needed or build your own. There just aren’t enough studios per student these days. It can happen but it’s a moonshot. Also make friends and get to know studio people, they’re much more likely to take on people they know and like than just some kid applying from school

Money talks b****s** walks

You may have missed the point. It’s not a video about me specifically.

@@adamsteelproducer Ah - sorry, I always get caught off guard by click bait

It’s not click bait though, I give a full and detailed reasoning of my leading statement. It’s just that “my studio” refers to anyone who runs such an establishement in 2023, and as such I hope this video can be used by people in my position to eloquently explain without wasting their most limited resource, their time.

@@adamsteelproducer I am not trying to disrestpect, but: "your girlfriend might be cheating on you (here's how to tell)" < That is clickbait in its most basic form, even if the topic is well covered, you're still being baited. Your video title follows that same hysteria. It's okay.. its proven results, right? worked on me
