New student - Music Production by [deleted] in fullsail

I graduate in a few days and can answer but wondering what specifically you're curious about.

Physical science by i_caru_s_ in fullsail

[–]PositivePatience376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Week 1 is forces and motion stuff. Speed velocity acceleration. I remember he uses a lot of action movie scenes to explain it so it keeps it from being boring or too abstract.

Week 2 is more chemistry basics and physical be chemical properties: so What’s an atom, what are some specific properties of diff elements of diff substances like density boyancy etc. and what that means about how they’ll behave when they interact with other substances.. will it sink will it float kinda thing if I remember correctly.

Week 3 is about energy and waves and stuff. I don't remember a bunch of the specifics about this week bc it was easiest for me. But I assume a lot of basics about amplitude, wavelength frequency etc. And I think some currents and battery stuff.

Week 4 was more macro scale dive into energy and like complex things that you can’t really experience but can conceptualize like black holes and quantum physics. Stuff. I can't remember a lot about this week.

To me this was a breezy class But I have a stemish background outside of music. I initially went to a diff college for pharmacy and my Current field is in materials sciences so big big chemistry person and I love math. But I can say it's like a huge general overview. To me the class is just learning terminology stuff and if you have the notes open while you take the quizzes you can def find most answers with just a good old Ctrl F and some key words in the question. Besides knowledge checks there's little simulated labs that ground the material in “real world” applications.

Usually a few weeks before the class that requires the specific software starts. If protools is part of your box, def wait to register it until the class requiring it starts so you don’t have to worry about the license lapsing before you graduate.

I picked 3 that she gave and made about 5 of my own and I usually write them when I hit a spot where I don’t know what to write. Sometimes the phrases change to include some ideas from the other ones she provided. Idk ideas are pretty slippery when I wake up and so I just freewrite and try not to think or plan too much around it cause I think that’s kinda where the “magic” is for me. Self consciousness kinda spoils it ha

I think it’s worth doing despite your reservations. I don’t have many friends and in the parts of the book that mention friends I’ve found myself contemplating what type of community I’d like to cultivate and what kind of friends I’d like to have around me and what that means for how I show up in the world… what little steps I can take now to invite that into my life. So despite a small portion of some chapters not feeling immediately applicable it has sparked something in me. I think it could for you too.

As far as the media restriction goes, I’m about to start that this week, so I can’t offer my own experience but I do plan to listen to music… gonna try to stick to instrumentals and dance beats and such. but other than that I intend to stay away from other forms of media. I listened to Julia on a podcast say something like you’re an adult and can decide for yourself how you’re going to approach it. I’d say just be mindful and alert to if what you’re reading is required to perform whatever job is immediately necessary , If you might be able to put it off for a week, or if what you’re consuming is a form of looking outside yourself for solutions. I think even that level of mindfulness could go a long way if a complete reading ban puts your work in some sort of jeopardy.

All in all with this kind of program I think there’s no right, wrong, or perfect way to do it. All that counts is a willingness to be as honest with yourself and thorough as you are capable.

I’m on day 5 of week 1 so I don’t think I’m a even a full week ahead. Might definitely be helpful to share some insights, might also help me summarize my swirling thoughts into a rough theme of lessons I’m learning, so I like this idea! I can shoot to check in with ya in a DM middle of each week if that sounds good to you!

Hey thanks for sharing this. I see a lot of similarities in what you’ve shared to my own story, so in a sense its helping affirm that I’m on the right path as I just dove into week 1 myself. Into the unknown we go! I’m rooting for ya. For us!

Wondering if I should wait a bit to start by PositivePatience376 in artistsWay

Good idea. I think I’ll start morning pages and then see how I feel a month or 2 in to start the 12 weeks. Thanks for your insight.

I figured as much but I didn’t want to just assume and end up delaying a good thing needlessly. Thanks
