Getting to a new level<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/blog\/all\/backstory-part-4\/\">Part 4. First gigs as a producer<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><p>Previously I told <a href=\"\/blog\/all\/backstory-part-2\/\">about my first local gigs<\/a> in 2006 and shutting down the community website in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>During the next three years after these events, I lived a normal life trying to make a career in a totally different field of work. No music production whatsoever, I’m not sure I even listened to music — I guess that is how strongly burned-out I was because of the study, the job, and the toxic relationship I had back then (tough times of being a teenager).<\/p>\n<p>So, year 2011, I was 24. That was the time when I realised that not only I want to come back to music production, but also make it a big part of my life and eventually make a living on music.<\/p>\n<p>It was sound like a nice plan, right, but where to start? After a 3-year long break, most of my connections in the industry had gone, basically, I had to start from the very beginning.<\/p>\n<p>That’s how eventually I found Audio School — a Moscow-based school of electronic dance music that offers courses on production, DJing, VJing, music theory, and other related disciplines. In total, I spent six months learning the basics and nuances of the profession and studying there was one of the best decisions I’ve made.<\/p>\n<div class=\"e2-text-picture\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/dsokolovskiy.com\/blog\/pictures\/audio-school-2011.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"626\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<div class=\"e2-text-caption\">The final exam on DJing discipline at Audio School. Performing on 4&times;Pioneer CDJ-1000, DJM-800, and an external SFX-processor by Korg. Moscow, 2011<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Also in the same year, I started my radio show, <a href=\"\/ravepodcast\">Rave Podcast<\/a>, actually several months before my education. Now it’s funny how clearly you can hear the difference in my mixing skills before and after the study. I know those first episodes sound terribly bad, but that’s exactly why I keep them — it’s a reminder to myself of where I started.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, education at Audio School gave me a great head start and saved a tremendous amount of time because learning all of this by myself would take me a way much more time. Eventually, the track I’ve made for the production discipline final exam is the track you know as “Contact”, my debut release signed on Ovnimoon Records.<\/p>\n<p><b>Advice:<\/b> a music career has many pitfalls and nuances, so if you have a serious intention to make music as your profession — learn from someone who already mastered these things. It can be a school, online courses, master classes, blogs, vlogs, whatever. Always raise the bar and never stop learning, that’s the only way of getting to a new level. The time and money you invest in self-education will always eventually pay off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"quote\">Always raise the bar and never stop learning<\/p>\n<p><i>To be continued.<\/i><\/p>\n",
