Intermediate Audio Production Week 11: Green Run

Sneaky are the hobbitses of the audio practical test. I told my self "be wary of these crafty sorcerers, they have a great many tricks and illusions up there sleeves." Sure enough they got me with a few of their tricks. I love how one button on the control board can mess absolutely everything up. You can do everything perfectly and have nothing butt confidence then you go to record and........silence. Our markers were ruthless as well and being the very first victim didn't help either. However, I think under the circumstances I did quite well and was able to subdue my nerves and get the job done. I do wish however had been a bit more specific as to how they wanted us to go about carrying out the test. I followed the list precisely but got marks taken off for doing things in a different order. I wouldn't have minded but my way of doing it would not have affected the final product. I guess everyone learning on standard way is a good way to make sure we are all the same page. Lesson learned, experience bookmarked, and all will be well regardless. I do feel however that this is a great way to practice studio procedure and I wish we had more evaluations like this. If we had a few minor sort of practical tests to practice as well as a big practical test at the end. All that in conjunction with the time spent working on assignments would make us truly efficient. Well, only one more week and it's all over. tear....
