Blog Introduction: Paul Mock

Hello, I'm Paul Mock and I'm in the last semester of my undergrad. I'm majoring in jazz performance for guitar. I have played guitar since first grade and I have played viola since third grade, but I haven't been playing the viola ever since I got accepted to the jazz program here at UIUC. But I was in the orchestra for all of high school and was first chair in the school chamber orchestra during my senior year of high school. My favorite genre of music is metal and I've been incorporating all the necessary information I've learned here into the music I write, which is predominantly jazz and metal. This class is useful for me because I record all of my material by myself at home with various DAW's. I never heard of Max before, but it seems like an incredibly powerful tool that will benefit my home recording in various ways.
