L3 Unit 7: Podcast Evaluation




I was tasked to create a podcast centred around my own personal practise and something that I can speak about given my style and genre. The topic of my podcast is all about different guitar techniques used in thrash metal and how I have applied them to my own personal practise and riffs. All of these guitars played in the podcast are played by me and I tend to follow a process: Explain technique, provide example of technique, and Show where I have used the technique myself. 

It was really nice to create a podcast, It is not something I ever saw myself doing. I enjoyed providing examples for certain techniques and being able to show off my own riffs in this podcast. What matters to me is being able to create something, and putting some personal creations in the podcast made it feel a lot more special to me.

Although I think this went well, I still would have done a couple of things differently. I would have spend more time on my ident and made it sound like I had put more effort into it as it doesn't really sound like an ident if you will. I definitely think my own guitar playing on my ident would have sounded better and more like me, It would have provided more originality to it. I would certainly have worked on my guitar tone and made it sound more clean. When I say clean, I mean more distinguishable. The audio of my voice could definitely have been made to sound better with more EQ and better pronunciations of my words

UNIT 8: Research

Image
Throughout the course of this project I have done a lot of research in this project so today I will show and explain all the research I've done in this project. What you see here the tabs for "Enter Sandman" and "Lucretia". During the creation of my First and original song "Take it to your grave" I wanted to figure out a new section for my song as I didnt know what would come next. I didn't exactly use this as after i finished the solo the song goes into an interlude so i did not use this but it is good for the future in songwriting.  i knew what i wanted to do with my song, it involved getting a sample from a show called "Invincible" where a character named "Conquest" tells the main character all about his struggles and his loneliness before attempting to kill him followed by him saying "Take it to your grave" which inspired the name of my track. In order to extract Conquest's voice, I had to download the youtube ...

L3 Unit 5 & 6

This will be my on going diary for units 5 and 6 dedicated to the creation, recording, and mixing of my music video.   For this assignment, I need to write a song, record it in logic, mix it, record a music video, edit the music video, and release it on YouTube. The song that my band have chosen to recording a music video for is "Take it to your Grave" which is a song about the character named "Conquest" from the comic book TV adaptation "Invincible". In the season 3 finale, Invincible faces planet Viltrums most feared warrior "Conquest" who batters invincible from pillar to post. During the fight, Conquest opens up to our hero and discusses his feelings of loneliness and isolation from his own race and how he doesn't even get his own name, only a purpose. He tells Invincible "Take it to your Grave" and tries to kill him. I thought Conquest would make a fantastic theme for a song so I wrote Take it to your grave about him I wrote th...

Unit 8: Week 1

 So far i have learned how to put a guitar into logic using an interface and how to record my guitar parts into logic. I choose to play a harmony from the 1986 track by metallica "Master of Puppets". i chose this because it is a very good solo and it will get me into harmonizing which i had never done before  First of all, i had put the interface in control of the sound by changing the output and input to the interface. I then changed the input and output in logic to the interface. I then plugged a guitar cable into the interface but there was no sound on it so i had to change the interface to channel 2 so the system could hear my guitar. I checked a tab for master of puppets and changed the tempo to 106 which orchestrates the speed of the song. I had then started recording the two guitar tracks which harmonized with each other and after hundreds and hundreds of takes, i finally got the perfect harmony. I am proud of what i created in logic since this was my first time using...
