Ever wanted to record your own audio or make your own music but felt overwhelmed by all the gear and jargon? You’re not alone. Between microphones, interfaces, laptops, software, and weird words like “MIDI,” the first steps can feel impossible to navigate. On Sunday, December 14th at 8 pm Eastern, 5 pm Pacific, join sound designer, music producer, and Performing Arts Division vice president Reggie Herbert for a practical, no-nonsense walk through what you actually need to get started. We’ll talk about what matters, what doesn’t, how little money you can realistically spend, and which tools are accessible from day one – including why Reaper keeps getting recommended. All are welcome! You don’t need deep tech knowledge to attend. We’ll stick to the basics, explain everything clearly, and leave time at the end for questions. If you want to pursue audio seriously, stronger screen-reader skills will help, but this call is built for beginners. Reggie releases his hobbyist music under the name Quantum Dreamer.

Florida Association of Blind Students Presents: A Thanksgiving Movie Night Hey everyone! We’d love for you to join us for a cozy and hilarious Thanksgiving weekend movie night. As the holiday winds down, come relax, unwind, and enjoy some great company with the Florida Association of Blind Students. Date: Saturday, November 29th Time: 8:00 PM EST Where: Zoom https://ufl.zoom.us/j/92601053518?pwd=xj8bl7BpY6O9Oou9tiPuoDaWnKZcYk.1 Movie: Addams Family Values (with audio description) Bring your favorite snack, settle in, and get ready for a fun, light-hearted night with an FABS twist. About the Movie: Addams Family Values Addams Family Values is a dark comedy classic that follows America’s spookiest—and funniest—family as they welcome a new baby, face a scheming nanny, and bring their unique charm to the world around them. From Wednesday and Pugsley plotting sibling sabotage to Uncle Fester falling in love with the wrong woman, the film is packed with witty humor, unforgettable characters, and over-the-top family chaos. It’s the perfect feel-good movie for the holiday weekend—quirky, funny, and full of the strange charm only the Addams can deliver. We hope you’ll join us for this evening of laughter, connection, and community as we kick off the holiday season together.
