Desired superpower: super-intelligence - the ability to get straight As
without trying
What do you like best about DAS? The program Pro Tools and working with
the sounds and mixing them. Also my team of students and adults. It was
very fun working with different races and ages also.
Any other comments: This was a very good and fun experience to have. Now
I know how all of the artists out there in the music business do their songs
and mix them. This experience will help me in the future if I decide to
go into mixing or the music business.

Any other comments: I admit that I've been very surprised at the level of
enthusiasm and participation of the kids. Their ability to pick up the skills
with audio gear have been incredible, but the delightful surprise has been
the creativity they've all brought to the workshop.
