May the fourth be with you...
I'm a little bit confused!
Good afternoon, or morning everyone. I don't post here at all often but when I get the chance I love to read the posts from others, and enjoy the sense of community. To be transparent, I have recently been diagnosed with AuDHD. I don't think it's recognised in the US and has only been recognised here in the UK fairly recently. It's a combination of autism and ADHD. It's been helpful to have the diagnosis in order to understand my learning style, what I struggle with and what I don't. I say this because I may ask a question that is totally obvious to everyone else, or of no consequence whatsoever, so hope you will bear with me. I started TRE and went through the mastering section. It took me for ever due to various circumstances. In that time it was changed. So it threw a bit of a spanner in my works, but I've dealt with that. I have gone on to the mixing course, which has not taken me half so long, but that has also changed while I've been going through it. This has caused me some confusion since I like to get everything in the right order or I can't learn. Thankfully, I write notes on everything so I can refer back to the old program whilst going through the new one. The old course does not exist any longer as has been replaced by the new. The new course has some improvements, though I'm still learning the concepts. There is something I am a little bit confused about and forgive me if it really isn't a thing, but I can't quite understand it in my neurodivergent brain and maybe somebody would clarify it for me. The old method (according to my written notes, as it is no longer on line), starts off by defining mixing, bouncing files ready for a mix, and setting up a session. The new one starts with editing. Not a bad thing, since editing does come before mixing. Then it goes into frequencies, dynamic and other tools, and lots of exercises in between. On section 14 it enters the foundation first method. It appears that at this stage the organising and set up of the session becomes a thing. My question is, did it come before then, and if so, where did I miss it? I have to be organised in order to make sense of things but I want to do the course in the right order. Is there a lesson before then that goes into the organisation details? My question is not how to organise, as I know how to do that, but where did I miss the lesson on it if it came before section 14? And if I didn't miss it, how did people go on doing all of those exercises without doing it and why didn't it come before? I know this may sound a little pedantic to normal thinking people.

Thanks for this post. Fortunately in one respect I am starting mastering in TRE. However before I actually started I was used to seeing the older way things were done. I don't feel I have a good explanation for why we are doing it differently and if the goals have changed or remain the same. I am also neuro divergent and it does make a difference. I am as I said not in the Mixing section so I can heed your words. But as we are told we use our tools and skills to create while observing the latest trends in mixing and mastering which seems to change ever generation at least. We seem to be in the middy of the change.
Produce-A-Thon April '26 - My entry
In the spirit of sharing, here's what I came up with for this challenge. Quite happy overall actually with such limited time - although could do with a little more contrast and variation I think. What do you all think? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lPb3hOl4oYFCoGr2E9EEQ9aWp3XwyUzE/view?usp=sharing

I listened to your version as you posted it, but of course I cannot comment if you are putting this up for the challenge. I can say however, well done for having a go.🌟 More than I did!🫢
So for those of you that have nothing better to do at the weekend....
What about sharing the song you wished you wrote. Mine is My Funny Valentine by Rogers and Hart

@Terry Wellman Gosh what fabulous choices. I have added the to my playlist. All the above are great. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to listen to them a lot just to understand the sound selection and arrangements.💪💖
Another thing to do at the weekend because you have nothing better to do
I have a new musical phrase that I have come across it is anhemitonic pentatonic scale. 2 parts to this challenge: 1. Does anyone know what this means before looking it up. 2. Could you casually drop this phrase in to a conversation. (This is not my idea, but John Powell in his book How Music Works. An excellent read) Enjoy

@Sally Whitham Oh Sally it is so pretentious but could easily be slipped into a conversation by saying how pretentious it is.Ha ha. Great you had a look through.
