“My instructor’s been pretty awesome, his name’s Nate. He taught me to use Ableton. He’s super knowledgeable and I’ve enjoyed the process of how we’ve been doing it so far.”
“Thank you again for such an amazing experience participating in the Introductory Workshop. I couldn’t stop talking about it when I got home.”
“Even a couple of weeks in, I feel like I’ve learned so much and I already feel like I’m a better live audio engineer. I’ve been able to apply stuff that I’ve learned to my live work already. I say that because after the studio program, I had my audio fundamentals down and with that, I was able to do some live sound work and learn as I’d go. But I had used the audio fundamentals I learned in the studio program to take me as far as that could. Now that I’m learning the more specific live stuff, it’s more applicable to the live audio work I do.”
