RRC Education Week 11 (8/6 - 8/12) - Posted on 2018-08-12 by Jacob Windsor

This midterm week came and went as smoothly as I had hoped. I began the week with studio time on Monday, but when I got there apparently I wasn't actually on the schedule so instead of going all the way back home I was offered to sit in with an audio engineer named Gabe to watch and learn his music making process. We worked on a Lo-Fi type beat and didn't stop till it was finished and up to his standards, it sounded great! I had studio time planned with Rob Sanchez on Wednesday so at home throughout the week I was studying my notes/all the chapter quizes in preperation for the midterm. When I went in on Wednesday I got there about 10 minutes early and asked if I could take the midterm before we got started, I got a B! Not bad but if I were to have read the questions more thoroughy I'm sure I could have done better, I know that now and will do so when the final exam comes around. After I finished, Rob and I worked on a song in Pro-Tools for Stephen Sharer. Stephen is a youtuber, creator of the channel "Sharer Brothers" and he came in earlier in the week to record vocals for his song that Rob and I were mixing and mastering. It turned out very good and I learned a ton of new plug-ins and new compression techniques for vocals. On Friday I took a huge step in my carreer field and finally started up all of my social media pages that I will begin to be posting on regularly. The social medias inculde youtube, beatstars, and a soundcloud! I go by Phenomenon on all three. I will be adding my soundcloud to my RRC page here shortly. I'm now mid-way through the RRC program and theres no looking back, only progression!
