Day 4 - Gio

On our first outing of the term, we visited Sig's Lagoon and Cactus Records, then ate at the post. We were honored with a tour and history of Cactus Records, followed by extensive bin searching. We then went to get some food at the Post in downtown. Ryan and I prepared to devour the 2 separate meals we had bought from the Post. A loaded fries and a chop and block can do a number on a man. We then went to Sig's Lagoon for more crate digging. We then returned to the school to continue creating music and listening to our vinyls.

It was a very interesting talk and very useful for future striving independent artists.

Next, we differentiated a music engineer, a music producer, and a DJ. A quick video helped us understand the responsibilities of a producer past just giving their opinion on the music.  Much of our work was in the afternoon with our teacher, Hiram. He has been DJing for 15 years and producing music for 13. He showed us all how to use his controller, as well as some of the remixes he made and posted to Soundcloud. This was our first opportunity to get hands-on with the equipment. We all had the opportunity to use the controller and transition from song to song. We finished off the day by choosing four or...
