Changes to my Study Programme

Jorge Cáceres V.

Sound Engineering is an interesting career and I like it so much, because of how it is distributed. If we are talking about Sound Engineering we have to keep in my mind two sides of it, the engineering part that considers math, physics, and science, and the other one is the artistic side, where we can find music, ear practice, piano lessons, and etcetera. So, as you would notice there are too many different things to learn.



For the same reason I believe that the curriculum of the career could be better distributed. Sound Engineering at Universidad de Chile has two mentions, one of them is about Sound Systems, and the second one is Sound Design and Production. In my opinion these mentions could be separated, and each of them have their own subjects, so in this way you would study for the one that u specifically prefer, and maybe the years of the career would be shorter.

Things related to workload and lengths of studies are demanding in a moderate, for example some schedules are very tiring, and the time between subjects sometimes is so long and the only place to pass the time in the whole building it’s at the terrace.

Now if we refer to the building itself, it’s very precarious, there is just one “green area” and it’s not even a real one, there is no place to completely relax, broken chairs, not enough things for all the people on the career, and many other things that makes me feel disappointed about the situation of the faculty.



And to finish with this blog, I will say that the teaching methods leaves a lot to say. The most important point on the whole situation is that most of the professor are not real professor, they are professionals of the subject instead, and that means that sometimes some professor don’t have the best ways to teach.

I really hope that these thing change in the future, so we can have a good time throughout the whole career.

    I think sometimes the love for our career is the only reason that makes us be so compassionate about certain behaviors and just keep moving forward. I think that changes have begun to be made and seen, which does not let our hopes die about having a better place in a couple of years.

  United States it's the country that I'd like to visit. This is because of the culture, the language, and the music industry. I guess that when people hears "United States", the first word that comes to their mind is "Freedom". But for me is “music”, because in USA there is lots of well-known artists like Drake, Travis Scott, Kanye West or Migos for example, and the quality of this artists and the productions behind their music is excellent in my opinion. Kanye West, Baby Keem, Travis Scott, Yung Lean and Drake In there I would like to hire a residential recording studio, I'd love to have that experience! What's better to make music with friends? And basically we would be living some days on the same studio.  Residential Recording Studio In my opinion, in United States the music industry it’s so relevant, there they work hard on the process to make good music, and I like that so much, because my objective in life is to make music (my own and other...

The Best Concert

  Well, the best concert I’ve been to (and the only one) was last year on November, and it was the “Primavera Sound Festival” on Santiago, Chile. I think that this will be the best concert I’ll ever go, just for the main reason that I lived a Travis Scott’s performance in front of me. Travis Scott is my favorite artist ever. I’d been listening to him since his album “Rodeo” dropped on 2015, and I’m still listening to him, in fact, a few months ago he released his last album “Utopia”, and I think that it’s great! I love his whole music career, and his psychedelic style on music. Back to the concert experience, it was awesome! I remember before that day looking lots of videos of Travis Scott’s performances and getting so excited, because his concerts are well known for their gigantic energy, and that energy referring from Travis Scott himself to the fans too. So, the performance of Travis Scott was the last of the festival, and I remember to saw a very big crowd, and when it sta...

My Dream Job

  My Dream Job   Well, this is something that I’ve mentioned in some of my blogs, but now I’m going to talk specifically about it. My dream job is to be a producer and singer, I want to be an artist. I know that this will be a hard goal to achieve, but I think “hey, this is what you want to make a live out of it. This is what you love” And the idea of me going through studios, scenarios, and concerts gives me energy to keep my focus on this dream. To be an artist you will need lots of skills, like learning skills, patience and dedication, in my opinion these are “key skills” to reach your goals in general. But now, talking about specific skills, I think that to be a producer and a singer I’ll need an advanced music theory knowledge and some singing practice too (because Auto-Tune can’t fix everything), but if these are things that I will need, I’ll do everything to learn them. Talking about the salary is something that depends on how hard you work for it, but is true...
