Midterm Posted on 2014-04-23 by Jessica Sherman

Half way through already! I've learned a lot so far, but just the basics. I've been getting used to Pro Tools more and more though. It's actually making sense, phew. I am so excited to start learning Mix Theory. I've been seeing a lot of mixing in the studio lately with Joe. It's amazing how much I understand music after these 11 weeks. Just tonight, I met a new client and he kept asking my opinion on things and it really flattered me.... I love that my input matters. It's cool that I can contribute. I'm a little late on my sine wave assignment (sorry I'm the worst procrastinator) I also had a hard time getting my settings on Pro Tools right, but now that I've finally gotten the hang of it, I've gotten a pretty decent sounding beat going on. I'm gonna finish that up tonight. I'm also beginning my course on social networking. Trying to decide my brand name, kinda leaning towards a nickname of mine. So weird that I'm gonna be buying a domain and really getting my name out there, making a website, promoting promoting promoting! Probably time to start looking for a studio job pretty soon. I don't know if I've used the word "excited" enough.

AutomationPosted by Jessica Sherman on 2014-06-16

Automation was cool to learn because I had been wondering about it before. Joe uses it when he's mixing for things like volume and delays and I didn't quite get what he was doing so it was nice to learn that and put it together... Read More >>
