I’m kinda behind with my class work specifically my work on the sound software Ableton, idk who to blame, i think its a mixture of my inability to follow instructions and read instructions, poor attendance and i love the teacher but the way its been done just doesnt suit me, he said i have plenty of time but i dont think thats true, i really need to catch up
I had a good look at it tonight and practiced for atleast an hour and a half, had a look at what i’ve been asked to do and i dont undrstand half of it its really upsetting/annoying me i dont want to fail.
Thanks Moonstruck, I have been trying my hardest despite what some people might think, its not that i am lazy its just very hard and my poor attendance could not be avoided it was due to fatigue and not being mentally ready for the class. I have missed maybe a third or more of this class
The Library at this College isn’t ideal and i haven’t got time to spend in there,
Thanks @POET the, FL is ok but idk i was told Ableton is the most common choice for artists, I don’t like the aesthetics of Ableton. I much prefer the studio with actual people playing instruments rather than anything else.
Well, I’ve never had an easy college class yet. This is the first class I’ve used a tutor.
I never feel comfortable in classes, they are all a struggle. Even the Beatles class I took was difficult! All I can say to you is that when I took Philosophy I didn’t think I was understanding and I got a little behind. I dropped the class before taking a hard test only to look at the test later and realize that it wasn’t that hard and I understood more than I thought. If I had just hung in there and not psyched myself out I might have passed with a B. Maybe you aren’t doing as bad as you think?
I hear you, I had online class today, it wasn’t too bad & I remembered a lot more than i thought,
The toughest thing (apart from Ableton) is working in groups even a small group, its happened a few times now and i hate it, the first time was ok, the second time was a nightmare, today was a struggled so i thought sharing powerpoint and make us able to edit it together would help so we can all add our own bit but i’m worried i get left with it.
I have a mock test tomorrow and we have a professional drummer coming in, i am nervous bc i dont want to look stupid, we barely have learned the Mixing desk, hopefully we can set up the equipment for him and Mic things up ok (hopefully i’ll be ok for it)
Ableton is hard I wouldnt be harsh on yourself. The people that are keeping up likely have a music background. Just be patient and remember to have fun!
I haad a good day in collegee today, set up drum mics and adjusted the levels (i watched) then we did work on our recording project, i was a bit worried about the boy in my group, i was messing about last week and he wanted revenge but after a bit of aggro we managed to get some recording done and we kinda made up.
I also mentioned i took meds for a ‘problem’ i had and he asked what it was and i said i’d rather not say.
It’s your choice but I mean if you’re ever behind on assignments etc. Remember that you always have the option to declare that you have a disability in order to get more time. A sz diagnosis doesn’t have to mean bad grades… a lot of schools by statute have to accommodate disabled/ diffetently abled students…Sz is a mental disability
I think they know i have issues but idk if i can get extra help bc covid has mucked everything up i think,
I asked one of the lecturers today about what to do about ableton and he said just to go through the videos and try and catch up i really think it is beyond my capabilities to pass this part i’ll try my best but i am not confident at all.
Yea if I was you I would talk to them before grades slip at all and say… yes I have a disability called schizophrenia and I need accommodation. Sometimes we don’t like to share but it’s your right and I’d take advantage of it.
They’ll probably just ask for a doctors note and boom you can get more time for tests and assignments. I used to do it all the time when I was in university
your a pro compared to me
(hopefully i’ll be ok for it)
