I have been in the recording connection program for about a month now.  I am learning a lot and eager to learn more.  At first I was a bit overwhelmed.  Everything seemed extremely complicated, and there was some math involved which is not my strong suit.  However, my mentor Joey Heier has a way of explaining things that make it very easy to understand.  So far I have learned how sound waves work and how the human ear interepts sound.  All very fascinating.  I also learned the proper way to set up a studio, including speaker placement and different acoustics for different rooms.  I now know how important levels are.  I've learned the sound levels that are the industry standard for mixing audio.  In addition I have learned the difference between different types of microphones and what they are used for to create a desired sound.
