During this project I learned a lot about mixing and recording. At the beginning I had limited knowledge of mixing and definitely knew nothing about the recording industry and the process of recording itself. I was excited to learn new things and finally find out how recording happened.<\/p>\n
Outside of lesson time I helped some of he degree students with their recording projects, performing in a band and gaining experience in a studio environment. This went quite well although there was one session where I got quite stressed out. However when it came to our studio sessions, these experiences helped me to know what to expect and even deal with a few of the problems that I faced.<\/p>\n
I am now able to successfully mix a track, despite the fact that the raw recording was not very good. Of course that does not mean that there were not problems during the mixing process either. It required a lot of tweaking. I think that if I ever need to again, I will be able to mix something and make it sound really good.<\/p>\n
The things that I would change about this process is the kick drum micing because for the first 7 takes of the recording it was not being picked up at all and on the final one it sounded poor, despite all of the changes James and I made. This makes me think that we should have spent more time setting up.<\/p>\n
Carrying out this project has provided me with a new set of skills and I am fairly proud of the outcome, even though it seemed as though I would never make it sound professional.<\/p>\n
As for my research, I think that this project has been the best for it. I have spent hours searching for good sources to not only help me learn but to back up my opinions and points. As well as that, I used Harvard referencing for the first time and I learned the importance of doing so. This is\u00a0definitely going to help me in future projects and in further life, for example at university.<\/p>\n
My targets from the beginning of this project were; to complete a successful recording session as the engineer, using problem solving skills in order to fix any possible difficulties; to perform well when being recorded and respect the recording engineer as well as the other members of the band and to mix the recording and create a good sounding song. First of all, I have managed to successfully record a full song as the recording engineer, even if it did not sound as perfect as I would have liked it to, I managed to solve the problems that occurred eventually. Second of all, I performed in a studio environment to a good standard, respecting the wishes of the recording engineer and other band members. Finally, I mixed the recording to a fairly high standard and I am proud of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
