A member of hip-hop duo The Hashassins, Recording Connection apprentice Tim Barry recently brought in one of his own tracks to mentor Doug Wallace at Studio 128 Recording. Getting to mix down one of his own tracks was a great learning experience for Tim who says, “I took so much out of it and, since then, I’ve seen my mixing skills progress at a high rate.”

Recording Connection apprentice Austin House (Salem, OR) recently got an insider’s view into what really goes on between artist and producer during a pre-production meeting between mentor Kevin McCarthy and a hip-hop artist, where they discussed everything from sounds and production styles to workflow, breakdown and cost. Austin says, “It was cool to see Kevin work as a businessman as well as a music engineer.”    Film Connection apprentice Keith L. Huff just directed his first short film For Sale By Owner. Thanks to a strange weather system moving into the Louisville area, Keith’s crew saw it all during their 3-day-shoot! In preparation for the project, Keith says, “I read film books, watched making of documentaries and worked other short films. With all that experience, nothing prepares you for making a film because each experience is different and each film has its unique problems. Being able to adapt and make it work is key for being a good director.” Sounds like a valuable lesson indeed!   [gmedia id=12]
