Been wanting to be a sound engineer since I was 20 years old. A studio in Dallas was going to teach me. They did Stevie Nicks Bella Donna LP and several for Willie Nelson. I think it will be fun to know things even if I never use it. Not like the cost will kill me.

I wanted to be one since I heard my first album and saw pics of recording studios in the album sleeves.
 
Nothing special or fancy. I remember a poster at the end of a hall in Ironwood Studio's, a studio I worked at in Seattle, that had a recording console, a coffee mug sitting on it and an full ash tray and the caption read "The recording industry, glamorous ain't it".

It was cool meeting folks and getting to work with the gear but in the end $7 an hour for 12 hour days , seven days a week with no benefits was no fun. I took Frank Zappa's advise and went back home to being a butcher.
 
I was aiming for an AS in Music-Recording Engineering or whatever at my local community college and the entire curriculum practically imploded midway. I think this contributes to the existance of so many home studios. There are few ways you can do it without pulling up roots and diving into uncertainty and I just didn't dig that.

Rex was that the Studio behind the Salvation Army. South of the City proper?
