I am giving a talk at Flashpoint. What would you like to hear?

[Matt Kern]

I am giving a talk next week at Flashpoint academy about audio production. If you knew then what you know now, what topics would you have liked to have covered when you were a student?

I have some the topics covered but am looking for some more opinions.

Thanks

Matt

How can I make it big without a label? (with my music or podcast)
What are the best, most inexpensive ways to produce great audio?

[Matt Kern]

Thanks John.

I was going to talk about all of the music/audio/snd fx sales and licensing sites that are popping up.

Just this week I sold some sound fx's online thru some of these sites and my friend had a tune appear in Fringe thru a website licensing deal.

Imagine just starting your career and having all these resources at your fingertips.

I definitely want to go into that a bit.

Thanks for the input...

Matt, those would be interesting topics indeed. Are you familiar with the Chicago Cultural Center and Paul Natkin's Chicago Music Commission music industry forum series? Perhaps another outlet to share your expertise.

More related to production, I am currently interested in more advanced commercial compression techniques necessary for electronic media, games, record labels, etc.
