So, I went into the studio this morning and as I went in, there was another student in there working with my mentor until it was my turn and as he was talking to the student, I heard them talking about reverb. Now, reverb is like sustain or a drag or an echo of a sound sorta like the sustain pedal on the keyboard and piano where you press the key and hold the pedal down with your foot, the notes carry on until you lift your foot off the pedal. So we both talked about that for a little bit and then we got to the chapter 8 quiz and we were going over that and we came to the first question. The first answer was "rendered files; rendered" and so we talked about that for a little bit and he asked me if I knew what rendered was and said that I didn't and he explained that rendered is the process it takes to get from point A to point B to get the final product. For example, its like when you make bread! You grow the wheat, you get the seeds from the stalks, you make the wheat into a dough, but now once you have the dough, you can't put it back into wheat again. So I learned an interesting topic today and I hope to learn some more interesting stuff!
