When I got to the studio I noticed that there was yet another person that was just starting too. However, she was just starting over here in Dallas while she had already started when she was living in California. At least what i had understood what the situation was. She was pretty cool and we shared some music when her lesson was done. Leland asked me to show him some ableton projects I had been working on so that we could maybe work on one of them. I showed him one I named, " Funky Cleopatra" and he was looking over that and asking me what I did and asked why I did it if I could explain. He noticed that I had used the eq in a surgical way to eliminate some frequencies and explained that I thought it sounded better. He was satisfied that I was able to do so and explained how to bring more life to audio to make it feel in the foreground of the mix. Beforehand he asked me if I had hit any walls yet so I replied with "Yeah, I want my drums to sound human like with all the inconsitancies and finesse that a drummer would have" he replied, "That's something that will take a while, somthing we all want to acheive (something along those lines)."
