Re: [AV Media Matters] Studio Design

["John P. Pytlak" <john.pytlak@kodak.com>]

Hey guys
 
I am an 18 year old novice in the audio world. I am from South Africa,
and 
I am currently busy with the first year of my electronical engineering 
course at the University of Stellenbosch.
 
I am extremely interested in the science of sound and the design of
music 
studios (acoustical treatment, etc.), as well as the design of audio 
equipment (amplifiers/loudspeakers). The problem is that very few people

in South Africa know anything about the field, and therefore the advice
on 
what to do to become an audio engineer is scarce.
 
I thought that maybe you guys could give me some advice?
 
Lets just start off by asking what types of job oppurtunities currently 
exist in the field, and do you guys think that I am studying the right 
course keeping in mind that there are currently no specialised sound 
courses available?
 
Thank you.

Dear Henno:

One place to start would be the Audio Engineering Society:

http://www.aes.org

Or the Acoustical Society of America:

http://asa.aip.org/

There are also publications that specialize in professional audio, and 
it's applications in film. Here are other links:
