Many people have tried to learn to code online.  And yet, in-person learning groups are popping up everywhere. Each of these groups think differently about learning, group dynamics, and culture. What can each group learn from each other? What are recommendations and design principles for starting one's own informal tech learning group? This project will take a snapshot of the informal tech education landscape. For more on the project: https://github.com/mozzadrella/Informal-Tech-Project

Shark Week (prod. Dubious Luxury)

This is my mix of Air Traffic for the PWYM (Play With Your Music) online course. The mix has been made to emphasize the dynamics of the tracks and making sure the beat and bass are quite present. The vocal tracks have been layered at some places to widen the stereo field as well. Some subtle effects have been added to some of the other instruments. I kept it simple because I feel that the original intent of this song is to be easy to listen to and should still be easily performable on a live stage.

I was surprised that the original track uses almost no effects at all as when i listened to the dry tracks, it was as if the track was already mixed. The recording engineer did a great job.

Air Traffic (Mix by Brokenfinga)

Remix of Clara Berry and Wooldog's Air Traffic for module 5 of the Play With Your Music course.

Air Traffic (To Space And Back)

If you heard the previous version, some things were "off". I decided to properly finalize the track and make it more "whole".
I'm positive some stuff could still be improved but i have the feeling the track has a real ending now.
