Ep. 61: Do I Need To Go To School For Recording? with Matt Holmes

We’re wrapping up an incredible first season of Secrets from the Scene with a question many aspiring audio engineers face: Do you really need to go to school for recording? This week, I’m joined by Matt Holmes, a seasoned instructor at Hennepin Tech, to break it all down. We explore the pros and cons of pursuing formal audio education and dig into these key topics: 🎧 Structured Learning: Why having a curriculum might accelerate your growth. 🤝 Networking Opportunities: The connections you make at school can shape your career. 🎛️ Access to Pro Gear: How schools give you hands-on experience with top-tier equipment. 💰 Cost of Tuition vs. Self-Teaching: Is YouTube University enough, or should you invest in formal training? 🔍 Lifelong Learning: Why curiosity and adaptability are essential to thrive in this ever-changing industry. This episode is a special one—it also marks our 1-year podcast anniversary and the Season 1 finale! We’re so grateful for your support and can’t wait to come back stronger in 2025 for Season 2. If you’ve been on the fence about audio school or wondering how to make the most of your education, you won’t want to miss this episode.

Have you ever walked into a recording studio with high hopes, only to realize the process wasn’t quite what you expected? Or maybe you're considering recording your first song and wondering how to prepare? This week’s episode is for you. I sit down with Zach Zurn, the talented producer, songwriter, and studio owner behind Carpet Booth Studios in Rochester, MN, to dissect the most common myths and false assumptions about the recording process.

Zach also shares his journey from launching his studio to working with artists like Yung Gravy, offering invaluable advice on leveraging the local music scene, ear training, and why collaboration is essential for creative success.
