Discussion Over Lesson 15 - Posted on 2013-05-29 by Daniel Amaral

Lesson 15 was the midterm portion and overall I did pretty well. Joey and I had touched base on most if not all of the stuff that the book is covering at the moment. The stuff Joey and I are working on now are primarily mixing lessons. I honestly was making mixing a million times harder than it actually is. Maybe just the whole, "There's not really a right way to mix" mumbo jumbo was just messing with my head. I now see how mixing can be extremely complicated only in the fact that there are endless possibilities on how you can go about doing so. The last time I was at Joey's I learned so much not just in mixing, but also in creating songs as well. I was able to understand mixing so much more with him than just by myself. That day really opened my eyes for so many possibilities creatively, both musically and sonically. I hope to continue working with Joey to finish that mix session he had me start on and see just how much higher I can soar.
