Internship Entry 6 — March 26

Today was fine. Nothing huge happened. I think.

I don’t remember what I did before 10am. I know I vacuumed a few rugs.

By 10:30 I didn’t have a ton to do so I just sat in the control room watching Matt mix. He showed me a pitch correction program called Melodyne. Pro Tools crashed twice. It was a nice time.

I guess one thing happened. On Tuesday, I realized I could record drums in the studio as an intern. Today, I looked over Gradwell House’s April calendar and found the one day there was time in the morning to record drums: April 13. I asked Matt, he said “email Dave”. I emailed Dave and he said “yes”. It’s a Tuesday, so that corresponding Internship Entry will be about setting up and recording drums.

In the meantime, I spent my time in the control room with Matt feverishly planning the rest of my thesis. Something about being in that room with that environment must have done something.
