The Great World Of Plug-Ins - Posted on 2013-06-19 by Kamela Singh

Date of Session: Wednesday, May 1, 2013
Time in: 11:00am
Time out: 1:45pm
Lesson #: 11

List one or two paragraphs on what you learned, what did you do?

This week was all about plug-ins, my mentor went into detail and broke down all the different plug-ins that came with pro tools and the Scarlett Focusrite. This was great because there are so many of the plug-ins that came with pro tools that I haven’t used because I wasn’t aware of the effect it can have on different sounds. This week proved to be a great week for taking notes, it was absolutely informative and took away a lot from this lesson.

This week, I was given the chance to sit in on a drum and guitar session. It was great; I got to help my mentor set up all the mics for a drum session. During this setup time, we talked about mic placement, the 3:1 distance rule and the basic etiquette of being in a recording session. I gain so much hands-on knowledge and was able to transfer that to my own personal recordings.
