I have been delayed in posting about my project due to technical difficulties, well I forgot how to get to this website and logon. Other than that problem my project has been going very well. I have been visiting the school most days during the week, mondays, tuesdays, and fridays, and sometimes thursday afternoons working on recording demos using pro tools in Mr. Elders classroom. I’ve been working on learning how to read music and accomplish different pieces that we play in many of the music classes. I participate in all music classes such as vocals, high school band, middle school band, and all music electives. during the afternoon is where I find most time to mess around with pro tools and learn how to efficiently use it to my advantage. Recording drums is what I have found to be the hardest in gaining the best sound. To sound good I’d need to place a mic on every individual drum piece, but that can get complicated. Micing the entire drum set as one is easier but the sound isn’t as great. Still participating in the music classes gives me a great chance to progress in reading music and playing various styles on the bass. I will be participating in the spring concerts as another part of my project after learning all the songs needed to perform. Working at the school gives me a great opportunity to learn from Mr. Elder and work at my own pace when trying to learn how to record music, as it has been going very well. I plan to make more recent updates sorry for the Delay!
