8 signs you're a music media production major

1. “Your friends get mad at you for constantly adjusting the stereos at parties.” – Jon Bell, sophomore

The mix on that Ke$ha tune still won’t sound good, but at least the master volume will be decent.

2. You spend more time in the studio than in your bed – Allison Swingley, junior

3. You make your studio your bedroom or you make your bedroom into a studio - Peyton Cox, junior

Even when you’re not at the studio, you’re in a studio.

4. You write your last beat on the computer, ready to go to bed and it's dawn - Stephen Weigel, senior

You're up all night to the sun, up all night to get... done, I guess.

5. “You despise Beats headphones.” – Bell

Sound quality is about more than a recognizable name.

6. “You can’t fall asleep before 4 a.m.” – Nate Kolbe, junior

Daytime means music history, music theory and sight-singing, but the real work doesn’t begin until after 10 p.m.

7. You’re obsessed with cable management – Ali Hegedus, junior

Your cable pile might be a mess, but at least it'll be a tidy one.

8. You have a session in five minutes but don't have a mic closet key - Jacob Leonhardt senior
