Issue #165 – Apprentices in Action
by L. Swift and Jeff McQ
Recording Connection mentors Lij Shaw and Jamie Tate got into the mix during our recent Anatomy of the Mixes workshop at The Rukkus Room (Nashville, TN). Thanks to all who attended (the audiophilia was real) and thanks to Becki Sessions, Regional Director of RRFC Nashville, for getting our Nashville peeps together. More to come!
Recording Connection student Tyler Saderup (Anaheim, CA), who apprentices with Romeo Williams at Shelter Sound Studios, is seeing how far he’s come in just a matter of months: “I look back at when I first started, ignorantly thinking I was somewhat of a musical genius. Little did I know I had a very broad spectrum of knowledge to acquire. I went out and got it though. With the help of my mentor Romeo it is all becoming possible now…I have more weapons than ever before to make me a dangerous music producer and sound engineer. The experience has been amazing, and it has changed me along the way.”
Film Connection student Zareefa Abdul-Adl (Philadelphia, PA) who apprentices with mentor Rocco Michaluk of Rocco Films, is enjoying the first-hand education she’s getting: “Rocco really taught me how to make this dream a reality and I learned how to shoot with the camera, direct, script feed, produce, lighting, different angle shots and etc. It was long days and multiple cuts but the crew hung in there as if we were building something we knew would be great once complete. I really enjoyed the whole experience and I can’t wait to do it again.”
