Bobby's Blog for College

This week I've done a lot of recording and managed to complete all drums, vocals, and bass for all three of my songs. There may be one or two guitar parts I haven't done but they can be completed in the mac lab or SLD1.  This is "Corrosion of the Mind" in logic Here's is Misu setting up the microphone so I can do vocals. It was good fun, the songs I have are starting to sound really good now This is me adding noise gate to the guitar track of my new song "Unscathed" an instrumental track. Unscathed is now finished. Now I need to finish the other two tracks My tasks for the finale tomorrow Double track the guitars on "Poisonous Soul" and mix and master it Mix and master "Corrosion of the Mind" then release the EP  Then the evaluation post to finish This is me mixing and mastering "Corrosion of the Mind"

  N00BSAIB0B · Poisonous Soul Finally, at long last my EP is completed and despite the multiple things I couldn't do and the time restraints I faced, I did it. I think this is 10x better than my EP on Level 2 so allow me to evaluate and explain why. What Happened? I had already co-written Corrosion of the mind in my band so I already had two songs along with Poisonous Soul. I knew I had to use these on my EP otherwise they would be lost and probably never to be heard. I went through some planning and realised I had lots to do, so I made a start by writing Unscathed with Bien on drums and it worked really well. I was waiting on the drummer of my band to help me in the studio and even when I booked the studio she was nowhere to be found, so I opted to have bien on the record. I hardly remember the recording process, but I know it was good fun. Sometime I was left really tired after recording sessions. I did as much research as I could come across but admittedly I was more focused o...

This week I'll be prioritising the 4th and final song. In my time not only here in this college, but during this project, I've realised that I can no longer rely on anyone else to help me with this project. I may need someone for the odd thing here and there but I need to meet this deadline sharpish. I'm thinking of just writing a guitar solo in logic. No drums, maybe a bit of bass guitar, but mostly guitar. My third song will be in the studio with Bien and Misu, but I'll do the 4th song myself. Simply put, I haven't got any time for this project to be sullied by the unreliability of others. Time to head to logic and see what we can do.. I got inspired to do the 4th song by these people who play along to backing tracks like this            I don't know why but stuff like this gave me the idea to do so. I used these particular effects on the MIDI keyboard and tried to solo over it. Its gonna take some more solid song structuring to make a song. I didn't rea...

  Today I will be recording "Corrosion of the Mind" the second song by "Poisonous soul" The lineup looks like this for today.  Bobby - Guitar Polly - Guitar Bien - Drums Misu won't be here today, but he will record his bass lines presumably on Tuesday as I have booked out the studio yet again for Tuesday afternoon. Now that things are starting to come together, I'll have be using the studio to record as much drums as possible.  Here's the plan: Record the guitars straight into the mac so I can mix them later whilst Bien also records his drums at the same time if we have any spare time I can do vocals for both "Corrosion of the Mind" and "Poisonous Soul" if we have any spare spare, me and Bien can make a start on our 3rd song which has no title yet. Tuplet group research For example, a quintuplet of notes  would consist of five eighth notes played in the space where four eighth notes (or one half note) would normally fit. The grouping ...
