Monday –
I started to get some takes on recording the piano but I found that the takes kept falling in and out of time, so I think I might try and record it to a metronome to help me stay in time. It’s important I stay in time because I’m hoping to add some strings to it and it’ll be easier to add other instruments if it’s all in time. One big issues that I have though, is that it’s not all in 4/4 so it’s hard to record to a metronome because the 5/4 timing will need a different metronome click. To fix this, I think I’m going to change the timing of the 5/4, into 4/4.

I wasn’t in today and because everything’s on Logic in college, I’ll have to wait until next time to re-record the piano bits. However, I did just practice the piece a little more so I got more comfortable with playing it, and so I didn’t need to refer back to anything.

Today, I just played over the piece, and made sure I was happy with it all. I now know the piece off by heart, so when I’m playing it for the recording, now I can just focus on the expression instead of what I have to play next. On Monday, I’m hoping to record it, with it all in time too!
