This week went by pretty fast. The chapter wasn't that long which was great because there wasn't that much reading however the material was pretty dense. I got a little bit confused on the lableing of certian concepts but I was straightened out by my mentor Steve. After reviewing the chapter we started to dive a litle bit into how Ableton software works and how to shortcut your way into saving hours of time. One of my favorite parts was when Steve showed me Ableton Push whish is the controller/launch pad that Ableton created as a tool that would work seemlessly with their software. I couldnt believe that we were actually kind of making beats in the studio. It may have been simple examples so I could grap the reality of this dynamic machine but it was still a great feeling. I also have a friend who just got a brand new dj set up that he has been letting me come and jam on with him. I am very excited to continue the program and I look forward to chapter 3.
