MTF Semester 2 – Week 1 – 26/07/07

First lecture back after the break and we found ourselves with a new lecturer. Welcome David Grice. David took this class for Sound Engineering-Studio last semester. Although most of us knew abit about Dave’s background, he went into a little more detail about who he is and what led him to where he is today.

Apparently when our Dave was little he was a singing protégé. I mean, I’ve looked at Dave and thought that he could be a member of the Soprano family but I never imagined that he was ever a boy soprano.

Dave then explained what we would be doing this semester. We are going to visit some studios and see where these skills we’ve been learning can be put into practise. This week coming we are going to Mixmasters studio at Hawthorndene. I am very interested to see some of their lovely, expensive gear in action and in particular Ken brought up the old analogue Vs digital debate and as Mixmasters has a lot of analogue gear maybe we could hear the difference. We could also be visiting The Film Corp, Disk Edits, Nova and Paradise Studios.

This Semester we have to continue blogging, develop a portfolio and present our portfolio.

Later in the class we went on to listen to our mixes from last semesters Sound Engineering – Studio course.
