It's been a minute since my last post.
I will be finished with an intensive 9-month program in Audio Engineering at SAE Institute in just two days. It's been an adventure to say the least.
I've learned the basics of sound, electronics and music theory. I now have an adequate understanding of signal flow, how to produce on a Digital Audio Workstation(Pro Tools, Ableton, etc) and can mix on large analog consoles like the SSL6K and the Neve VR.
In addition to learning all the technical stuff, I've learned a lot about myself and my career plan is clearer than ever.
The reason I enrolled in this program is because I've always had a great passion for creating not just music, but art. The type of art I strive for compels people and inspires them to make a positive change in the world around them. Before I started, though, I had no real knowledge of how to produce a song, and the song is where it all starts. Now, I have the tools that will allow me to create as many songs and albums as my heart desires. Now I have the tools to compose sheet music so I can bring in live musicians. I can now track them in a studio. I can now mix the arrangement. Knowing that I'm able to bring the music that's been in my head for so many years to life without having to depend on someone else is exhilarating. There is nothing quite like it.
So stay tuned. Great and wonderful things are on the horizon...
