First Day at SugarHill

This Wednesday, was the first day that Brooks and I went to our internship at SugarHill Recording Studios! We started off by watching Ryan, who is one of the guys that we will be working with, work on a music video that one of his friends in L.A. had sent to have mixed. I really liked the music as well as the visuals. As soon as the song is released, I'm going to add it to my playlist! After he finished, we followed him into a separate part of the studio which is used more for production and mixing. They showed us the program that they mainly use (Protools). Both Brooks and I thought that using their software would be really hard at first. However, to our surprise, we were able to get the basics down pretty quickly. Once we had walked through everything, we tried mixing a beat that someone had sent into the studio. In order to mix and master the track we used many different virtual plugins such as compressors, equalizers, and limiters. It was a really cool experience to be able to take what I do for a hobby at home go to a place where professionals do the same thing. I can’t wait to go back next week!
