Easter Plans

By
Main focus:
- Practising drums
- Sound design
- Completing the project 4 proposal
- Collaborating with Jonny on a metal dubstep hybrid track
- Continue working on the DOOM Re-Score

I will use my off time during the easter holidays to practice drums because I have a drumkit at home in Austria and I am going back for 2 weeks from the 8th of April until the 25th of April. 
During those first two weeks I will only have my laptop and thus will be limited in terms of music production so instead, I will try to focus on Sound design by watching tutorials and attempting to recreate sounds I like. 
Additionally, I will complete my project 4 proposal and when I'm back in England I will collaborate with Jonny who is a friend of mine and very talented guitarist, we are currently working on a metal  dubstep hybrid track which is inspired by Modestep. Together we will continue writing the track and hopefully finish it in the next 4 week. 
My final goal for the easter break is to continue working and hopefully finish the re-scoring of the DOOM soundtrack which I have started off about 3 weeks ago.

Project 4, Session diary 7: Mick Gordon's DOOM soundtrack

By
Week 3, Monday 15th of May Goals: Optimize workflow, continue working on the instrumental, practice sound design in serum and with the Korg Volca Bass, write notation for instruments to record Resources: DAW (FL Studio, Logic), instruments (guitar, piano, etc.), leads, mics, Diary: I completed 3 of the 4 goals I set myself this week, I practiced sound design and wrote a blog post about how I jammed with the Korg Volca Bass. I continued working on the instrumental and have nearly completed it now. I tested the mix in MIT 3 through the Genelec speakers and wrote down some things I need to focus on and change to make it cleaner. I also restructured my room to create a more comfortable working environment, I moved my bed to the window to create more space to sit at the desk and removed equipment I don’t use to have more desk space. This really helped me optimize my workflow because I didn’t have things lying around and distracting me and additionally I could easily get t...

Project 4, Session Diary 3: Industry related project & agenda for Thursday

By
Today I started with my Research Task A, I chose the songs that I will analyse and wrote down the main focus points of my research for example: Performance accuracy Audio quality Recording techniques Mixing techniques Arrangement Production techniques I started analysing the first of the three tracks “True Friends by Bring Me The Horizon”. I listened to the track multiple times and wrote down some key aspects of the track and how it differs from the typical metal song. I analysed the music video and tried to figure out what gear Jordan Fish (the keyboard player and programmer uses) in the studio and for his live performances. I found an interview where he shines some light on this topic and I will probably use some quotes from it. In the lesson Industry Related Project I learned how to cite correctly using the Harvard format and Colin Duran our lecturer showed us a very useful website called “Cite This For Me” which automatically creates citations for your ...

Project 4, Session Diary 10: Feedback from friends and tutors

By
Current version of song which I showed the people giving me feedback: https://clyp.it/dvawbtpy Today in Professional Industry Practice I approached a couple of my friends and my tutor Colin Doran to give me feedback on my song. I received very positive feedback overall and the main improvement points from my friends, Callum, Chloe, Alex, and Christie were to record some harmonies with the vocal, add some toms to the buildup before the chorus for extra tension and to make the vocal a bit louder in the parts where Lauren is singing quite low. Colin was very critical about the track but he said it is a very good song and has incredible potential. He suggested to rethink some parts of the arrangement because I the piano melody is very strong and needs to show a bit more sometimes, this could be achieved by some volume automation. The vocal sounded a bit muddy to him and he told me to experiment with different microphones and possibly record some counter melodies and harm...
