assignment, I collaborated with Stephen in recording and producing a song with the guitarist Santi Castillo to create a rendition of Nirvana\u2019s \u201cThe Man Who Sold the World.\u201d Mr. Flo taught us how to set up a Pro Tools Session and tasked us to help Santi set up his equipment, we took turns recording different takes and decided which take we liked the most.<br><br>Stephen has worked with Santi before, and he told me he would be great for this project. What I found out was that he was the best person to ask for this project, he is a talented musician who made the process easy and efficient.<br><br>Overall, this project taught me a lot about collaborating with my peers to record and produce music in a real studio setting. It was more straightforward than I thought it would be, and getting to work with Stephen and Santi made me realize how fulfilling it is to help produce an artist\u2019s work. I\u2019m totally interested in working with them in the future with projects like this.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For our Music Recording Project, we were tasked to use Freestyle&#8217;s professional recording studio to record a musician&#8217;s music using Pro Tools and produce it into one digital song.
