That may be true, but typically a 4 year, post secondary school
experience in a recording studio won't come even close to a 4 year
university drill. I'm talking university degree, not some SAE, Full
sail or whatever one year course student mill, offering "tonemeister"
certificate.

OP wanted information on audio ENGINEERING degree and you arrogantly
knocked him by implying he doesn't know the difference between audio
technician and a tonemeister.

Yes I just wanted to know which is the best sound Engineering
degree, because I think I have the skills to become an audio engineer,
not a simple technician. I want to learn to do, why to do, how to do,
and I want to have a wider range oj jobs involved in
audio/sound/acoustic I can do, 'cos I know there are few job places
(at least here in Italy, but I can consider to work everywhere, at
least at the beginning).

That may mean the same thing where you're coming from but he can't GET
an Audio Engineering/Tonemeister job in Italian broadcasting or
production facility without university degree in music or applied
technology. Neither would you unless you had some major international
production credits.

Just to put the things in a perspective, in Italy and elsewhere
continental EU the difference is equivalent to the difference between a
nurse and a physician, a draft person and an architect or a sales
assistant and a marketing director. So is the knowledge, skill,
responsibility and competence level. Salary too, about 30-50%.

And since you are posting from the University of Berlin, give Deutche
Rundfunk a call and ask them for the job requirements. They invented
the term Tonemeister some 60 years ago.


j.

So the Tonmeister is the best degree. I understood this. Now I know
that there's in University of Surrey, of Berlin and Wien, searching on
the net. Do you know some other places?

Thank you ALL very much!!!
