SOUND

Well, it was our first full day of sound today and I'm not afraid to say that I was not looking forward to it at all. I'm not particularly fond of sound (as a technical responsibility) and I generally shudder at the thought of an entire day of sound. I also had the problem that I had never fully grasped how to correctly operate the sound equipment -and what I did know I had largely forgotten over the summer.

With this in mind I wasn't looking forward to it. However, I was happy to find that our new visiting Sound lecturer was to take us back to the very basic principles of Sound. After the first two and a half hours of the lecture I was surprised to find that I was not only reminded of that information that I had forgotten but had learnt some new aspects. Certain things that I was unsure of last year were now a lot clearer -such as the connections and settings of the mixer.

I of course don't wish to suggest that Simon's teaching methods were substandard to Cammy's but I did seem to learn more today than most of the classes last year.
