Veronica Rodriguez, Music Production, 93X

So..... I'm Veronica. I have already graduated from McNally Smith with an AAS in Music Production and decided to come back for the Bachelors degree in Music Production but I also figured if I have 4 more semesters to do here i might as well finish the AAS in Engineering and the diploma in Live Sound. So that's what I'm doing now in addition to my internship at the local rock station, 93X! The gentleman I work for is named Patrick. He is awesome. My first day was pretty much just observing and taking notes. I take notes because I don't want to forget what he tells me and look like a moron. Anyway, what I will be doing is helping him out deciding what music gets put on the air for his "Loud and Local" program and I will also help him out with editing commercials that are put on the air. He did one for the Rock night club on Thursday and he did all the talking, we found some music online and put that on there too. Businesses and Venues have some specific request sometimes like where they want a hook from the artist they want to appear in the commercial to appear so that is where I will come in. The system they use for editing seems pretty basic. Not anywhere near as complicated as Pro Tools but since it is so simple, it kinda does seem complicated if you know what I mean. Anyway, from what I saw on my first day, I'm sure I'll catch on pretty quick. Since Patrick is so experienced and quick at it all, I had to watch with a very analytical eye. He works very fast. I'm hoping that I will be able to work close to as fast as he does. Then I wont have to sprint to my bus stop to make it to my Tour Management class! Wish me luck!
