As well as last week my research page wasn’t satisfactory so that needed improvement, as well as I, need to make sure I at least make a dent in both if not one song so I don’t fall behind.
I need to apply the work I test at home to try and come up with a new part of the song in the bridge.
DAILY EVALUATION
Monday – I continued to work through both songs adding detail after adding the chord progression on the first song I will need to do the same for the second song I will also be adding more detail and making the song sound more full in some areas
Wednesday – on Wednesday I began writing lyrics while still working on both songs and using my research I will try looking for songwriting techniques to help me improve.
Thursday – I continued both lyrics and detailed both songs Ass well as this I will be adding drums and bass to both songs using the chord progression to find the correct notes.
EVALUATION
Strengths:
. I added detailing to my tracks and added a drum loop and bass line.
. I also started to write lyrics for my tracks they aren’t good but it’s a start.
Weaknesses:
. It was a tough week and I didn’t manage to get enough work done not on digital space or in my tracks.
. I need to push myself to come in I have just been staying at home doing digital space work and not working on my track.
My first track Has been going well I have added some finer details to make the song sound a bit more full in the verse and chorus and I have successfully made a bassline and drum beat that fits and one I feel doesn’t sound overused or boring.
My second song has taken a backseat from the first one I knew this could happen but every chance I get at home or in college whether I am not working to fix my digital space or work on my first song.
My digital space work is still lacking and I feel I wont be able to writ good enough lyrics since I have no prior experience with writing lyrics and many singers are busy getting into there project.
JOURNAL
In Monday’s lesson, Two of my tutors tested positive for covid and we weren’t allowed in so I spent the day doing my research and finding new ideas for my song along with writing up what I did the week before and did a lot of correcting. Research has taken a lot of time with last week and now this week it has been hard trying to figure out how to lay them out.
On Tuesday it was my day off but I still had some unfinished work to complete so I did that. Along with trying to fix a lot of my DS work and I also went on Garage band and tested from beats and bass lines which after finding my chord progression was the next task.
On Wednesday I was supposed to have John but he has covid as well so we had to work from home I look for research in the online library and found some books to look through for help with production and songwriting.
In Thursday’s lesson, I went to college after a week at home and decided to go to the studio and try to come up with something new but after an hour’s session, all I did was upgrade my bass line and add some melodies in quiet areas.
