Studio Refresher

Attended a TV Studio refresher session today, it was great to go back into our lovely big HD studio even if it was just for a quick learning day. Only five people turned up for the session which was actually quite nice as we had a more 1-on-1 style of tutorial as a result. I was ponked right back into sound where I was taught how to roughly operate the new sound desk they installed and got to have a good old chin-wag with Gary, BU's dedicated sound engineer. We recorded bits of a post-grad who wanted to film some bits for her show reel so we got to put all our new-found skills to the test. Sound wasn't at all a hassle, I was genuinely just pressing a single button on and off after we set it all up. Ironically while its not dreadfully interesting, it means you've done a good job if you are having a very easy time as a result of preparation - hope to be just as efficient in the future for my course-mates studio shows.
