Lesson: 10 & 11

Today I went into the studio and we went over lessons 10 and 11. I have yet to receive my M box so we looked up at pictures of the box to determine how many inputs and outputs there are. I have been using Brad's Steinberg Interface to get use to hooking up the box. Brad showed me a TD Box and how it has a ground line option. We went over the importance of this and looking at pictures we believe the Mbox 2mini has a TD box built into it. 

Brad has given me a song that he is working on, that is all dry recorded and unedited. He has asked me to line the audio tracks up and play around with the plug in's. He then gave me an assignment with the vocals. I am to have 3 tracks of vocals, one original dry sound, one am sounding and one track with EQ and reverb. 

We listened to the EQ I had played around with on the snare, kick and tom drums. While we were listening to my mix, we discussed the importance to keep in mind that the final track gets tweaked at the end as well. So don't put to much of one plug in on, or else when you double up at the master mix you may not have the sound you or your artist is looking for. 

My strength today is that I am a great listener, not only a good listener but an even better learner. I want to take in as much as I can and learn everyday.

My weakness, I don't know the names and sounds of my plug in's. This is something I will be listening to and becoming familiar with.
