“Hi, my name is Mike Russo. I am a bassist in a band called 1.21 gigawatts. It's an all 80s band based in Cincinnati, Ohio. I started this band a little over a year ago with the intent of having just not another cover band, but one that put on a show, one that had videos behind us, synchronized lights, smoke during Thriller, and that type of thing. When I started to look into this, I stumbled upon from studio to stage. So I've been a subscribed member for about a year now. But I took the boot camp about six, seven months ago and it has completely changed the way we work in our show. What I did was I have actually a checklist that I keep next to me of where I want to go with the band. Now, at the very beginning, in ear monitors were brand new to me. Actually, all of these things were brand new. I was in a band that just used amps and that's about it. So I had to learn. I wanted to learn in ear monitors. Play to a click track, utilize backing tracks, utilize guide cues, show videos on stage, confidence monitors or teleprompting. Ability to take requests as a band musician. Cheat sheets because we'll have over 300 songs to have to memorize and play. Patch changes for the keyboard, patch changes for guitarist, patch changes for basis, a light show and then ultimately a redundant setup. Now, will would make me move redundant setup to the top, but financially I have to hold off on that one. But my point is, whether you're a hobbyist or if you are somebody that just wants to pursue a career in playback tech, this is exactly what you want to do. Not only is it a low risk to see if it's something you're interested in, but what you learn, it's just. It put me from somebody that is learning Ableton to somebody that can help people with Ableton or actually teach certain aspects of it. So, Will, I can't thank you enough. And the boot camp was amazing. And I'm waiting for the advanced boot camp, so thank you.”
