On the outside, Osceola studios is just a simple, small brick building however, on the inside, the building couldn’t have any more character. There are tons of trinkets and small toys that lay across the music editing software and there are at least 11 lava lamps in the studio.
The day started off with me doing basic housekeeping things such as making a pot of coffee, washing dishes and spraying the perimeter of the studio with bug spray. That sounds dull however while tidying up I learned how to properly wrap chords, where the microphones are safely kept and how to turn on certain power sources.
Soon a client came in, and for the next few hours I got to sit and observe as Mr. Hodgen reviewed a hip hop artist’s music and went through the process of mixing it. It was fascinating to see how the artist’s song started and how it ended up after the mixing was complete. I learned that the most important part of the entire process was making sure that the song is in correct time and that the BPM (beats per minute) stay consistent throughout the song.
I am very interested to see how the work will vary with different kinds of music.
