“I chose to study at Alchemea because I wanted to become a professional sound engineer working in major recording studios. Not only did I learn how to work all the equipment used in major studios (my training with SSL’s, Pro Tools, Microphones and Logic has been invaluable), I also learned how to behave in a studio, what to do when you’re starting out as an assistant, how to run sessions, and generally how to make a good first impression!If you’re serious about a career in sound engineering and are prepared to work your backside off, I can’t think of a better place to gain a grounding then on the Studio Sound Diploma at Alchemea.” www.neilcomber.com
