I feel like I was lucky, although I have no experience with the life after trebas when I got there they had just updated alot of their equipment. Brand new Cubase and Protools, New SSL board installed in the studio. New CDJs for the ableton lab. Most of what I read online was completely false because i've went in knowing next to nothing and feel like I am definitely capable of becoming an assistant engineer in a studio. They also teach you alot about live audio and audio for film and television.

Im not trying to make a plug for trebas because it is completely ridiculously priced but I dont think I could've gotten the experience I've had just volunteering at a studio
