English Language Challenges

 Hello everyone, today I will tell you about my experience learning English at university. Despite the fact that this semester I was with thousands of things to do and few times I was able to connect synchronously to the classes, I highly value the teaching and the material delivered by the teacher in both English III and English IV, it was very interesting to be able to read a little about my peers on their blogs, know their tastes, their studies and their way of seeing art, which is surely something that marks the day to day of each one, and I find these types of tasks to be a very good way to exercise the way of writing in English, because despite the fact that one continually uses it, it is not always used to write large extensions of ideas and that is very interesting.  Since I went to high school, I have known that one of my biggest obstacles when it comes to learning English is my pronunciation, I consider that I have very good ability to write and read English, but spe...

Changes to my study programme

 Since I started studying Sound Engineering at the Faculty of Arts, one of the things that most caught my attention, unlike other institutes that taught the career, was the completeness and diversity of the curriculum of the career. I had absolutely all those things that interested me when I was in high school, among them, music, obviously, technology and science. That was the reason why I entered to study, however now that I have been studying for almost 3 years, I have realized that there have been certain shortcomings within the university. One of the main complications that should be able to be solved is the infrastructure of the building, since there are many students who have struggled to improve this aspect and progress has been made in a not very efficient way. In addition, although the Sound Engineering career has the necessary professional audio equipment to learn, much more progress is needed in the use of technology and in the way in which the use of it is managed. I fe...

POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

 Honestly, one of the things that I have realized that I would like to do when I finish my degree is to specialize in certain areas that have caught my attention, especially this year. I know that everything I have learned constitutes a very good foundation for my training as a sound engineer and artist, but I would love to be able to continue learning much more about music production, especially mixing, mastering and recording techniques. I would also like to do some kind of study in the area of ​​architectural acoustics, since I would like to be able to carry out measurements and simulations of rooms dedicated to professional sound. It is a fairly unknown area here in Chile and research has only recently begun. Regarding music production, I would love to be able to specialize in mixing, since I consider that much of what I have learned has been more through self-taught work than in university, I would love to know more music, genres and open my musical ear more to have the a...

My future job

Imagen
Good evening everyone, today I will talk about my future job, hopefully so. One of the reasons why I am studying Sound Engineering is because I love music production. I make, play and produce my own ideas and during the last years I have managed to develop my skills in a pretty good way, I have been able to produce some songs by local artists and I have realized that this is what I really like. I would love to be able to work in a professional recording studio, where I can learn from those people who have been in the field of sound and production for a long time, but also at some point in my professional career I would like to be able to open my own studio, in Iquique, my hometown, because there are very few professional places in the field of sound. I would also like to work in the area of ​​live sound, since I would love to be able to work in concerts, outdoor venues and travel with a band or music festival. I know I have to work hard to achieve my goals, but despite everything, I wi...

A photograph that I like

  This, without a doubt, is a photograph that fills me with nostalgia and memories. This photo was taken at the house of my uncle who lived in Alto Hospcio city, in 2008, I'm not very sure. My older cousins ​​and I appear in it, their names are Camilo and Diego, I am the youngest in the photo.  The reason why that photo fills me with memories is because my cousin Diego is no longer here. In May 2009, in a very complex situation, a stranger ended his life, I think it is not necessary to specify what happened or how, but it was a very hard moment for my whole family, since he always made everyone happy and we loved him very much. I prefer to remember him as a happy person, full of dreams and that even though he was much older than me, he always gave himself some time to play or talk to me. That is why this photo has a very important meaning for me, in it we are all smiling and we always enjoyed our time together a lot, despite our age differences and that we did not live in the ...

My best concert

Imagen
 One of the best moments of my life occurred on November 12, 2017 at Bicentenario La Florida Stadium, my mother gave me the ticket to see one of the bands that has marked me the most in my adolescence. I met Green Day in a casual way, I never fit very well with the music that was fashionable when I was a teenager, but everything changed when surfing the internet, I discovered the song Basket Case. At that moment, I felt that I finally found my style. They always told me that Green Day was an old band and that I could never see them at a concert, but when they announced that they would come to Chile  I didn't hesitate to ask my mother to let me go. That night was magical, they played the songs that I always wanted to hear and I was very close to the stage, the closest I could get, and I enjoyed it a lot. Some time later, I decided to get a small tattoo with the phrase "I'm still breathing", one of the songs on the Revolution Radio album to always remember that moment a...
