Week 16 - Posted by Kate Richardson on 2015-07-25

Week 16 Phil introduced me to a DAW called Melodyne, which is one of the coolest things I have ever seen! It can manipulate your voice into what key you would like for it to be in, and it has quite the advantage over just using auto-tune alone! We also went over more MIDI and automation, what I've been looking forward to! :) Read More >>

Week 14 was fun!! Phil has had a lot of business during our sessions so I have gotten to really see what he does working with each client... Read More >>

Week 13 - Posted by Kate Richardson on 2015-06-22

Probably the hardest chapter so far! It's been fun though :) The biggest thing I learned this week regarding EQ is which filters to use for each track, and we got to work with a lot of processors - which thank goodness Phil has a great way of going over everything in a way I could understand! He used an old analog equalizer that has different I/O to help me understand how everything works... Read More >>

Week 10 - Posted by Kate Richardson on 2015-04-19

Week 10 was pretty interesting considering Phil had a special visitor from the Food Network come in - the lead on Restaurant Impossible! He came in for a voiceover and you could immediately recognize the accent (I've watched the show many times lol)... Read More >>

I finally got my Pro Tools this week! So excited to get it started, and it's crazy overwhelming! But I was shown a lot of the basics fairly well to help get me started, so it's been easy navigating around... Read More >>

Week 7 - Posted by Kate Richardson on 2015-03-29

Week seven was all about getting into tracking and how each song is put together. The chapter itself was a little interesting but it helped with getting to know where each player should be where and why! I'm being shown around the studio a lot more which is great because I'm curious to see where everything should be placed... Read More >>
