The more I work with digital.....

Just started my Pro-Tools class. Wow. It's gonna be a LOONNNNNGGGG 3 years.

I will do my best to treat it like a tape machine, but it seems I will have LOTS of non-linear editing features that I will have to be ABLE to use.......which requires me using them. I feel like I'm betraying the analog world by using this stuff...........I feel so spoiled seeing every single waveform on a multi-colored GUI screen.

The professor made me laugh inside -- the first day of class, he said that he started off working with analog tape -- "yeah, we had a Sony DASH machine." It's ok, though. He's new, and he's at least HIGHLY QUALIFIED in teaching his field -- Pro Tools.

I will dance naked in the street once the JH-110 is repaired and re-installed, that's for damn sure!!

No, no, treat it like you're going undercover to the "other side", being the ultimate "insider".

Well, only about 2 semesters of actually taking a CLASS on it.

The remainder of the time will be hands-on useage, some acoustics classes, some digital audio theory classes. But Pro-Tools will be the main multitrack medium for all our projects. (unless something absolutely crazy comes along within the next year or so that smokes Pro-Tools out of it's cave.)

We'll also be learning various mixdown mediums (including Sadie, DAT, and soon and very soon, 1/2"!!!!)

they gonna teach you how to do re-capping jobs and stuff?

Later on, I think there's an advanced electronics class that will actually involve component work, soldering, etc. So yeah. If not, hell I hope I can figure it out eventually if need be.
