The recordings on Monday went really well we only took 4/5 takes on each song to make sure we had everything right. The first time on the recording the song sounded a little strange so we took a second take which sounded a lot better and just took a few more to make sure everything was fine. They got me and tom to sing in the background whilst they was recording to guide them through the song “let go” so then they knew when to change into the chorus, because without the guides of our vocals they wouldn’t know when to change or stop. We listened to the recording of “last days” with just the instruments at first and it sounded amazing, we didn’t get chance to listen to the track of “let go” but when Tuesday came along me and tom got straight in and started to record ,but right before we recorded we warmed up our voice with the sea shanty and the ABC warm up, when we got started the first recording to “let go” was probably the most shaky one recording we did for that song. Either way we took about 4 recording for that song to make sure we didn’t mess up and had everything right. The second time we recored it i forgot lyrics and me and tom didn’t sing loud enough. The third and fourth one went a lot better and had the lyrics on point and the melody and tune of our voices . Then as we started to sing ‘last days’ we had a moment to be ready and we was doing impressions of king Julian from Madagascar. Apart from that the first recording for “last days” was one of the best apart from when Tom wasn’t belting the lyrics that he wasn’t meant to belt so we did a few more takes and the fifth one was the best because me and tom put all our effort in for the last time of recording. Me and Tom listened to the full version of ‘last days’ with the vocals and we was very proud of how it turned out but we didn’t get chance to listen to “let go’ with the vocals included.
The weakness from recordings was me and Tom was messing about with the microphones where the band members could hear us talking and we was making impressions on king Julian and saying the word cheese. My weakness was that when i started to laugh it would get out of control and i would have to take a minuet to calm down.
The strength’s was when it actual came to recordings we stopped and instantly got on with it. Tom strength was he could go from messing about and to stop and get on with what he needs to. My strengths was that i hardly made mistakes and was able to keep going even if i got distracted.
