Another Post After Many Days

Woops, forgot to put in a few more days.

Let's see: Last week I didn't get a chance to go in at all (sick kid), but the week before Steve started showing me how the board in Mama Bear works.  I started experimenting with it a bit on my own time so I could get used to it.

Then, yesterday (Wednesday) he had me help him with some more grunt work.  I've come to terms with the grunt work.  They're still getting the studio to completion, and it means doing a lot of grunt work to begin with.  He has been very diligent in making sure that I know it won't be like this for much longer.

Several Sessions Later

Unfortunately, I've neglected to post the last few sessions that I've been with Steve.  A few weeks ago, I got to watch Steve as he finished the session on a local band that had signed for recording.  That was very interesting to see how ProTools operated with the main board.

This last Friday evening, he had me work with Andy Soemo (engineer for Cedar Park) and Amanda Goodmanson (a student of the recording industry degree here at NU) on a project for a church.  None of us could remember what church they were from.  That was probably the most fun that I've had since working here with Steve so far.  It was a very long session, lasting from 6pm until 2am.
