Reflection: Sachi Rodriguez's Masterclass

After watching Sachi’s masterclass, please reflect on what you’ve learned about digital signal processing. We encourage you to discuss what was meaningful for you, but if you need help getting started, see below for some questions and prompts to get the reflection ball rolling:

1. Sachi breaks up her vocal processing into distinct sections: 

   1. Pitch correction

   2. Clean Up

   3. Creative 

   4. Time-based effects sends 
      
      

2. Sachi talks about using a gate as a “musical” solution to noise clean up as opposed to the more “surgical” solution of going in and trimming silence. 
   
   

3. Sachi talks about knowing her voice on her specific microphone and having that inform her processing.
   
   

4. Sachi compares and contrasts how Logic and Ableton allow for different paths for digital signal processing. How much is our sound shaped by the software we use? Is that something to be embraced or overcome in your eyes?
