| ALWAYS DO THIS FIRST |
| WORKING IN THE STUDIO |
All Content below will need to be researched and presented. I will be glad to help with questions but will not answer them for you. This is authentic discovery. Please use sweetwater.com for a reference, but NOT the total source. Use the attached glossary below as well. You or your group may move quicker through most of this material to gain access to the studio quicker. I need to know without a doubt that you understand these concepts before using the studio. If you can't understand these concepts, the studio is useless. You have to understand the basics to even begin to understand how to record. I have devised this approach to give you a sure shot at an "A" for the semester and also discover on your own. There isn't a wrong answer, but a better answer in your discovery. I want to you to think and reason through your decisions. Once you or your group can demonstrate you understand this material, you may begin to conceptualize SIMPLE recordings for the studio. You will still be required to participate with the "in-class" videos and any other hands on assignments.
