Weekly Facebook Group Recap - 7/1 thru 7/7

Here is a recap of facebook group information for one or more courses you're a part of. Disclaimer. This recap by no means replaces the information in the Facebook Groups. Always refer to them for the most current and accurate information. We do our best to relay what we think is the most important details, but it's very possible for us to overlook something or make a typo in the process. This is just to be used as a quick reference and outline. Enjoy!

The Triple Threat Artist

• Ashley started a discussion on a good ergonomic computer mouse and was looking for recommendations, lots of people chimed in. 
• Zion shared the recap for the week
• Office hours were amazing on Tuesday - we had an amazing discussion all about production techniques to get your song to "change/move/progress/evolve" that's often suggested by licensing agents. Also we go really into the nuts and bolts about reverb and how to use it when producing.
• Kate Willens joined our tribe, welcome!!!
• Jeb shared a track for some feedback. :) It's soooo well done.
• Eymard started a discussion about VI Guitars, and praised the Amplesound guitars he's been using. I agree!
• Zion added a new video on the Framework of the Triple Threat Artist course, breaking it into four areas for more clarity.
• The Triple Threat Artists are going to be meeting up on Wed the 25th in LA, for those going to the Access Live Event. We're making plans now about that.
• More steps were taken by students to listen to lectures and apply their new knowledge in exercises and groove making strategies.
• This next week's office hours will be held on Tuesday at 10am, where we will deconstruct famous production of hit songs, as well as get questions resolved for any production projects students are working on.
