Jan 6, 2016It was one of our required courses for our first semester in Audio Production & Engineering It was the only class I failed (and have to retake for graduation).
I really want to learn it, as I agree with @Purspective about it enhancing ourselves as producers and musicians. But it is an incredibly hard subject to learn and takes time to refine. It's very cryptic and theres little to no logic behind theory, which makes it even harder for most to grasp.
It didn't help that our teacher was REALLY s-----y for teaching the subject. He explained it via an acoustic guitar (which doesnt work very well), His teaching style didn't work for almost everyone and the textbook was useless.. Most of us would form study groups and use the internet for answers. Probably 80-90% of the class was in my boat. Not to mention we learned a ton of useless s--- for being producers and engineers.. including conducting.
Thankfully they are completely revamping the class after years and years of failure.
