PS2- does anyone know of a good music production school around the new york area. thanks

http://www.audioschool.com/ It's a pretty pricey school. I actually had a conversation with one of the agents that are supposed to talk you in to taking the classes. After I told him what I knew already, he let me know that most of the teachers started out just like I did. And the only difference was they had been doing it for a long time. He said" Buy gear, learn the gear and produce. It's cheaper! May the force be with you.
