The CSB Experience 2: The Big Z and the Big Reveal

The Big Z

        At first I thought I was hallucinating when I saw someone awfully familiar stepping inside the classroom where I was in and where he was welcomed by my professor. Then it happened again the week later when it happened again.

       Turns out I was right, he's actually the baritone-voiced Joshua Z of 99.5 RT or Zahn Paul Yu in real life.

       When news broke out that Sir Henry Bolo was about to leave town, he named Sir Yu as our section's Sondesn prof for the rest of the term. A lot of us were saying a lot of things like:

 "Magaling kaya siya?"

"Mabait siguro siya, 'no?"

"Nagbibigay kaya siya ng one hour break? Ehehehe..." 

One thing's for sure, all of us in DMA1 are headed into the right direction!

     On our first day under Sir Zahn, we pick up where we left off like knowing Sony Soundforge's family of audio editing software programs and friends (Pro Tools, Vegas Pro, Adobe Audition, etc) as well as getting oriented on the fx capabilities of the abovementioned programs. After the half-hour break, we were then directed to do a rendered version of our exisiting sound files we recorded ourselves.

The Big Reveal

      The funny thing though is that, just as how Joshua desribed it how small the world really is when he found out, turns out we actually knew each other way back as fellow PEXers from PinoyExchange.com. When I found out that my prof's going to be Joshua, I was really excited because I finally got have the opprotunity to meet one of the "living legends" of FM radio as some would put it.

      He shared to me that since RT has grown to become a sort of an institution in radio, people would likely revolt if any aspect of 99.5 is changed. Something that did happen when the owners changed RT into HiT FM then later to Campus 99.5 before reformatting back to RT.

        Throughout the duration of the break, we discussed a lot of things radio-related. At first I thought he might laugh at me on how he would react if he finds out I'm j5bata. Turns out, I was wrong. :D

       Glad I met the cool dude. He's actually a pretty nice guy on and off-air. Now, I'm pretty much looking forward every week for his Sondesn class!
