Have any of you gone to school for sound design?

Would you say it was worth it?

Any recommendations on schools in the west?

I did not go to school particularly for sound design, but I did take classes on studio engineering and live sound in college. They definitely helped give me a better understanding of EQ, Compression, recording techniques and how things work in a live environment when I got started writing music.

I've heard good things about SAE.

APRA is really promising, if you're in Calgary, they teach everything you need to know. Make an appointment for interview with Lanny.
