Even the nice Belkin headphone splitters has a negative effect on the audio one is listening to. This seems like one of those problems that has always been present but never solved. Do they make splitters that don't lower the volume and or stereo sound mono?
#1 learning moment of the week: If you "mix down" an audio piece on Sound Studio or Audacity, there's no going back. "Save As" is your best friend, "Save", your worst enemy. It's necessary to "mix down" in order to put the track onto iTunes and convert to mp3.
Being the second oldest student in the class, it has been a little weird trying to get to know some of my Time Arts peers. But after hearing their work, giving them comments, I feel like since we can identify now as artists, we can do the same as people. I had never really talked to anyone in my group, but now I feel like we know each other. The smaller critique groups are really productive, and I hope we continue to have critiques in this way!
In addition to my technical comments, it was interesting today to sit in front of a group of freshman and explain to them the rough dynamics of culture and art. "Teaching" them (if you will...) was a great learning experience for me, because it truly made me realize how much I have grown in my four years as a student of art. As I watched them listen, I saw myself four years younger, knowing I cared just as little as them back then. It's amazing how much growing they will do over the next few years, and not even realize it.
