This lesson really helped me understand the type of music I was listening to tell the difference between the qualities that are accepted by a large portion of the public and the qualities that are true to the original sound. I also learned about some multi-track recorders that I have never heard of before and how they worked. One of the most important lessons I learned from this chapter is the detailed steps that are required to take a recorded sound and put it into storage and then prepare it for playback to the listener.
Also this week my mentor let me sit in on a band who was recording an EP, where I watched the recording process take place. I also helped setup parts of the recording space, wrapping up chords properly and setting up drums and mics.
