Last week I lost my Ilok so for chapter 10 my mentor let me make my own session on his drive for my SineWave Assignment. I was having a lot of trouble at first navigating myself around the sofware, but after using it for a couple days I started to get used to it very fast. when it came to making my own sound/ beat I knew exacly what kinda sound I was looking for but it was hard to get that out of the plugins. when you start to realize what plugins to use to get certain sounds it makes it a lot easier and a lot faster to make beats. After messing around with different frequencies you start to get a feel of the sound your looking for. Since I didnt have my ilok my mentor let me come in before the midterm and finish it witch was very nice of him.
