Highlights
-
Daniel worked in GSU's television and media facilities while he was a student here. During that time he worked in a number of responsible roles in audio production including live television audio for commercial projects, live broadcast, audio for film style shoots etc. He worked in a sophisticated audio production environment with a 56 channel digital mixer, routers, and high end wireless systems. He also did a lot of audio post work in ProTools. Furthermore, he was instrumental in configuring and setting up our 32 track ProTools suite with video satellite. He is, by far, the most advanced student of audio we have ever had in our department and he takes his work very seriously. Recently he produced a very impressive soundtrack for a theatrical production as well. Beyond these impressive technical skills, I have been impressed by his personal qualities of courtesy, honesty, conscientiousness and kindness. I recommend you give serious consideration to his application.
