One of the biggest arguments against working on a sound engineering degree is that it&#8217;s really no substitute for real-world experience and practice. However, there are plenty of reasons why studying audio formally is an awesome thing to do, too.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re trying to decide whether going to college for a sound engineering degree is worthwhile, let&#8217;s talk about some of the biggest upsides of doing so!<\/p>\n<h4>Meeting Likeminded People<\/h4>\n<p>This should be an obvious reason, and one of the main upsides of going to college for anything, really. Going to school for audio engineering means you\u2019ll have the opportunity to meet likeminded individuals and develop meaningful personal and professional relationships.<\/p>\n<p>Collaboration is one of the best ways to get better&#8212;learning someone else&#8217;s techniques and applying them in a way which works for you is invaluable. Anyone pursuing audio in higher education is there for a reason; these are your peers, and getting to know them can wind up being an indirect way of getting better at your craft.<\/p>\n<h4>Learning the Basics<\/h4>\n<p>If you\u2019re completely clueless with anything and everything audio-related, you\u2019ll learn more than you ever could have imagined.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I didn\u2019t even know what \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/5-mixing-tips-you-might-not-know\/\">mixing<\/a>\u201d was until it was demonstrated to me at school. I didn\u2019t know anything about acoustics and the science of sound, and I had only a cursory knowledge of the equipment used to produce music. I left with knowledge of all these things, a familiarity of studio etiquette, Pro Tools keyboard shortcuts, and tons of other practical knowledge I immediately applied to an internship.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll become extremely familiar with the <em>basics<\/em>, but you&#8217;ll have to let the real world show you the rest.<\/p>\n<h4>You\u2019ll Earn a College Degree<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s always satisfying to accomplish something you\u2019ve set your mind to. While a piece of paper may not mean much to some, it\u2019s nevertheless a physical representation of your academic achievements. That\u2019s something to be proud of!<\/p>\n<h4>Using Amazing Equipment<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42353 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_3.jpg 700w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_3-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_3-80x45.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_3-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_3-302x170.jpg 302w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_3-266x150.jpg 266w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_3-40x23.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_3-160x90.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_3-20x11.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_3-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_3-604x340.jpg 604w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_3-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_3-533x300.jpg 533w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_3-16x9.jpg 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_3-385x217.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A school that\u2019s worth its salt will likely have a fantastic facility and top-of-the-line equipment for students to use.\u00a0I was particularly lucky; mine had two full-sized, multi-million dollar studios with SSL consoles and a phenomenal mic locker.<\/p>\n<p>This may not be the exact case everywhere, but you\u2019ll no doubt have the opportunity to play with stuff you don\u2019t\/won\u2019t own personally. This is great preparation for an internship at a commercial studio. This is 2019, though, and working in-the-box at small boutique studios is becoming more and more prevalent. If you never sit at an SSL console after your sound engineering degree, you will have at least had the experience.<\/p>\n<h4>Your Skills Apply to Audio Overall<\/h4>\n<p>Most audio programs teach just that: audio. That means that while you\u2019ll definitely study music production, you\u2019ll also learn about live sound reinforcement and sound for film, TV, or broadcast.\u00a0This is great if you\u2019re still unsure of exactly what you want to do! For example, the post production field is a great option for a more &#8220;regular&#8221; lifestyle as opposed to the controlled chaos of being a music engineer.<\/p>\n<h4>Making Mistakes<\/h4>\n<p>No one expects you to be a seasoned audio pro when you&#8217;re working on an undergrad sound engineering degree. This gives you the freedom to make mistakes inconsequentially (grades withholding, of course!).<\/p>\n<p>Without the real-world pressure of a chief engineer or client breathing down your neck, you can take your time, screw things up, screw things up again, and learn from your mistakes. That&#8217;s the whole point of higher education!<\/p>\n<h4>Meeting Future Clients<\/h4>\n<p>Audio engineering programs tend to work closely with performing arts programs to get student musicians in the studio with student engineers. Projects where you have to record other students is a great way to develop relationships with musicians who can become future clients.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42354 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2.jpg\" alt=\"The Pros of Earning a Sound Engineering Degree_2\" width=\"400\" height=\"592\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-51x75.jpg 51w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-182x270.jpg 182w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-152x225.jpg 152w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-115x170.jpg 115w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-284x420.jpg 284w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-101x150.jpg 101w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-236x350.jpg 236w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-40x59.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-12x18.jpg 12w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-160x237.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-365x540.jpg 365w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-11x16.jpg 11w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-285x422.jpg 285w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-9x14.jpg 9w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-230x340.jpg 230w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-7x10.jpg 7w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-18x26.jpg 18w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-203x300.jpg 203w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-6x9.jpg 6w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-14x21.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-385x570.jpg 385w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/The-Pros-of-Earning-a-Sound-Engineering-Degree_2-20x30.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Your work probably won&#8217;t be amazing right away, but if you present yourself to musicians in a way that suggests growing together, chances are you&#8217;ll have a willing client!<\/p>\n<h4>Access to Audio Professionals<\/h4>\n<p>The faculty in audio programs are professional engineers themselves.
