I met with Chris again at the same place and explained him my situation with my paper. My paper had gained some of the information that I needed to fill in the gaps, but it still lacked some personal explanation and found that I repeated alot of what I said. Chris took this oppertunity to explain to me how he saw my situation: I had alot of work to do, I was procrastinating, and I needed to get my act together. At this point he said, he could help me with my paper but it is ultimatley up to me to make sure it gets what it needs since he can't just walk me through it. After explaining this to me, we tried to go back to how my personal view of a producer was and how I would want to go about creating a product. We decided I could compose a song or use a previous recording of mine, and using pro-tools we would layer other tracks over it to construct it into one full song.

I met Chris at the Jittery Joes at school again and we began to figure out how I should put my information in the paper. My problem with most of my paper was that I didn't have enough information on the topic and with the paper's rough draft being due soon I would have to put in a lot of work to make sure it could be turned in. We looked at what I had done for the paper so far and began making an outline of the things that needed to be included in it. Although I could explain the basic idea of what a producer does, I needed more specifics about the tasks performed, such as the people he communicates with and the skills needed to perform technical tasks.

Upon getting to school I waited for Chris Scredon at the Jittery Joes counter in the middle of the school. I only waited a few minutes until he showed up and we went into an empty classroom to talk about the best way to go about my paper and the rest of the project. For most of the time, it was mostly conversing and getting to know eachother, sharing our ideas of what a producer would do in the music industry and how you might apply that to other types of media. Chris explained that he has produced his own album before and has a studio set up at home. He uses a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) called Pro Tools to do his work and tells me he will teach me how to use it considering it is the standard program used in the Recording Industry.
