I even got offered a job and I’ve already recorded 7 songs for clients, two of which are on Spotify and iTunes!
I have learned a lot of new things, that are very important and necessary to know.
The HOFA PRO course showed me the right way of how to record and mix music. The support during the course was very helpful and they quickly replied to all my questions.
After doing this course I fell in love with all aspects of the audio world and now mixing, mastering has become a big part of my life.
I really recommend this college to anyone involved in music!
It has broadened up my point of view on the audio engineering world.
