STUDIO ORCHESTRA THIS WEEK

THIS IS THE LAST WEEK OF REGULAR CLASSES! All the songs are tracked and are being mixed. If you are working on a mix, I need it ASAP, by Wednesday at midnight at the latest! We will be mastering on Thursday morning. If you are working on the CD cover, I need to see it by Monday. We will be printing this weekend.
Here is what we will do this week:

Make sure you finish your Journals and Desert Island Extra Credit. If you never brought in a song for us to listen to, you can bring it in this week.

We'll also set up and jam one more time, and take some action pics. We also need to prep the CDs for duplication.

We'll proofread the CD credits and make any corrections.

On Wednesday and Thursday you can bring in your audio projects or original music and we will check it out. We may listen to some of the mixes if I have them.
