Second Week @ BMP Audio (24.9 - 30.9)


I am starting to learn the exact times when the buses arrive which is easier for me to plan my journeys to and from my internship. A positive that comes with taking long bus journeys is that I can catch up with any reading that I need to do for the rest of the week.
I have been asked to do some audio manual tasks like entering new compilations CDs in to the BMP Music database, entering acts in to the BMP Acts database, ripping tracks and other audio into different sessions. I have also been asked to do some more general manual but useful tasks like creating spine labels for compilation CDs and other miscellaneous CDs, also I filed CDs back on to the shelves and opened mail with CDs inside. I would like to develop my knowledge and history of popular music and I believe this one of the ways I can do so, as I go through many CDs that have been popular or are still popular. Each CD has a card in the case giving details on the record such as popular tracks and history of the album, I am starting to learn about individual artists and albums from different eras and genres.

I have been taught by Erik how to complete more tasks on Pro Tools like splitting a raw recording in to acts, finishing cleaning up edits for radio programs. I watched Erik producing different parts of this weeks program while he talked through the tasks he was completing as I would given these opportunities later during my internship, these

I worked my usual hours on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday which added up to 13 hours. I occasionally do not have my late classes on Tuesday and Wednesday and have said to Erik that I can stay later when the opportunity arises.

Total hours: 28
