Hi,



In a nutshell, a 'music technology' degree will usually cover the programming/recording/mixing/editing/pro鈥?side of music. In theory it provides the student with the expertise to work in the professional recording studio, live sound mixing and broadcast areas. I say in theory because there are so many students studying music technology and very few openings!



It's always good for a musician to understand what goes on in recording studios as it helps when being involved in sessions. Doing a degree is, however, quite a long-winded way of getting that knowledge, to be honest. Hope this helps.
