Chapter 2, Week 2 - Posted on 2015-11-02 by Natassia Marchbank

This week was fairly crazy with all the weather issues. Luckily we were able to get through the quiz quickly on Monday, and I began to mix my first track... in fact, it's almost done! I felt a little behind-the-curve, since I'm still learning much of the lingo as I go, but by the end of our session, I feel as though I made progress. I even made a mistake in choosing the wrong format for reverb and froze the session... I felt terrible! Mark was incredibly patient with me, though, and it turned out to be an easy fix. Friday's session was all didactic, as the rain tore up Mark's house and he had to shut down his equipment for safety, so we reviewed the chapter 2 quiz again. I needed it, because it never hurts to reinforce information... I found I'd forgotten a couple of things in just a few short days! Ugh. (Baby steps, right?) 
This upcoming week will be our last session for about 3 weeks, since Mark will be out of town. Good thing, though... the next chapter is digital audio, and it looks pretty intense!
