    It's only a new enough course(1st year last year I think) so not many would've done it I'd say

    just hope you dont have ul as your first choice in music technology mars bar! the ul music tech course is very theoritic with feck all studio work. LIT now has some really top notch recording studios (the ones in ul are fairly dated), and students are encouraged to use them as much as possible!

    There is a common "stereotype" i suppose that the IT's are more practical, as in, hands-on. From what I hear from the students in Ul is that the course is quite gammy in first year and very theory based but they are planning to change it next year. I wonder is the IT more hands on in the actual recording side than the Uni. Any comment?!?
    I have seen UL and LOVE the college, haven't seen LIT yet though...

    Starr, I know exactly how you are feeling. I just can't seem to make up my mind...

    It's up to you but.......I'm doing the course in LIT and I am enjoying it.It's very hands on and practical.The studios in LIT are top class and getting better.On the other hand I have a friend doing the course in UL.He's in 2nd year now and they have to yet to record anything.

    well if LIT`s idea of "recording" is still hook a fecking mic up to the sound card on a 10 year old pc and giving an hours theory how to do it before hand, i would rather go to UL and not "record" at all. :o

    It's quite the opposite.If it's sound engineering you wanna do the LIT course is infinitely better.
