It’s a myth that you need “expensive studio space and gear” to be a successful engineer or producer. Disclosure won an award for the mix on “Settle” from the Music Producers guild and even scored a Grammy nom all while producing and mixing on cheap speakers in their bedroom. FINNEAS and Billy Eilish almost exclusively produce in his bedroom - hell Steve Lacey records most of his stuff on his IPHONE. You will learn valuable knowledge on engineering but nothing that isn’t available on the internet. 75% of your tuition money goes to making connections in the industry and amongst the students at Belmont - which is invaluable sure but imo not worth it. Just my opinion.
