In studio - Posted on 2014-10-21 by Brandyn Rowley

The past couple of weeks have been a little rough. There has been sickness and cancelled sessions but a lot of learning. Last i was in the studio we touched base on all of the crazy effects of pro tools. i learned how to set up a new instruments track as well as how to properly set up a sampling keyboard. We used the old grand piano and so many other unusual funtions to create scenes from movies, games, and in music. I learned how to create a max fader track and now know the functionality of it is for balance. We even dove into taking a track, rendering, and changing its placement to form and sound well together. I cant remember the specific name of the tool but to watch it in work was jaw dropping. It took out of sync drums and a guitar and placed it in the right timing of each other. I learned how to set up a recording such as muting the other tracks soloing one and puching the litte red record ready button before starting the recording. I did however make the mistake of cutting the fade off of the humming guitar. I changed the gain so there wasnt any peeked spots in the song. I was even able to bring my friend home and record a few songs of his. Im really excited to dive more indepth with pro tools. To much time in the week for an eager student against a full time audio engineer.
