DALLAS, TX
My mentor trained me for 1 hour on
lesson #1 on October 15. I mentioned
careers in audio for games and post production in the Dallas Area to
him. He stated that he knew some people in that field and would contact
them. Overall, I'm having a great time. Turn in my Assignment #1 to my
mentor. I stay around for 2 hours after my training to help out
one of
the engineers so it's great this program, you get to learn under your
mentor and then meet the other engineers. Iam networking as I am
learning.

You read about the stuff, it's right in front of you. Then you go with your mentor and actually do it.

My mentor has me running a few sessions, I've recorded 3 clients now. If you can't make this program work for you then that's your fault. They get you in the door. The rest is up to you.

I've been going to a great studio for the last 2 months, but recently found out that a good family friend of mine works at a studio. I called Recording Connection and they set up the studio to work with me and I've been going there ever since and loving it!

RICHARDSON, TX
I had a change to try the console after class to put in practice what we had just learned. I even got a chance to set up a couple of
instruments/mics for a practice recording session for us interns. Classes are fun and I'm enjoying it. This week we had live recording going on. I was able to help out in setting up the stage and etc. And as for class, I am now in lesson #6. So its going pretty good so far.
During the week, my mentor has been explaining the basics of how to use pro tools. We had a chance to mix a song as well (in pro tools). After a couple of lessons on pro tools, I am now able to use pro tools some what on my own. I'm not able to perfect it now but I know I will after my lessons on it. I can't believe I am in a real studio learning from a real pro. This is crazy. So cool. Forget about regular school, Im in a real studio.
On Monday I was in the studio a little longer than usual due to the fact that I was setting up a drum session! Then, I was working on the patch bay as well. And as far as the classes, we had the amp lab lesson. It was a lot of info but was able to understand it! I had a chance to try the console after class to put in practice what we had just learned. I even got a change to set up a couple of

My Mentor is awesome, thanks so much for working with me, and getting me into a real recording studio. Hal knows exactly what he's talking about.
Jacob Sandborg
RECORDING STUDENT - TEXAS
My mentor and I did lesson twelve and continued showing me the art of Pro Tools. He has been an awesome mentor, I highly look up to him because he cares about me retaining my education (unlike college professors). My progress in my new field of study is astonishing, my musical creativity has increased a hundred fold. I am highly looking forward to learning more and hopefully working for Mr. Weaver in the near future. Next week I'm bringing my guitar to record a few licks and start really getting the hang of setting up the studio and begin recording. GOD BLESS YOU all for this opportunity.
This is for December 8, 2008 we completed chapter thirteen, and i'm waiting and studying for my mid term on lesson fourteen. I'm still exited about my future with this program. I am getting Pro Tools for Christmas and i'm getting prepared to start recording in my house. i'm still going strong and focused. We started setting up the studio, brought my guitar and tried all kinds of mic placements and recorded a couple of backing tracks. Thank you for this opportunity again , GOD bless you all. Your guys are for real. I love this program.
