planning my exit...

The most important thing to fulfil as I leave, give certificates of completion and say "Adios" is to be sure that my students understand enough to continue without me... out of the 30 or so students who have been learning to produce instrumentals, record songs, and to mix their recordings, less than 10 can really run the equiptment by themselves... there is some concern from those who run the comedor that those who understand it best are actually from other neiborhoods than San Nicholas... Soacha has about 1,000,000 people and this comedor is mostly for those in this Barrio. I am incuraging the leader to continue to include anyone who understands the equiptment and software and is willing to share their knowledge... It has been rushed and many technical issues have been dificult for all the students to understand. some understand mixing but not setup, others setup but not effects. at the end of the day tommarrow, I am confident that they will be able to continue to grow and to learn and to make peaceful music without me.

It turns out that the video from the 1st day did upload, it only took a while to be available... it is rough and improvized, anything else will come later and be more professional in both audio and video, but for now...
