Overall I have very mixed feelings for this project as I enjoyed some parts of it and others I did not enjoy at all. For example I really enjoyed rehearsing with the band as I love playing instruments and sharing ideas and getting very creative with the band. I also loved studio recording as this was practically my first time seriously recording a song live not only with the instruments but also with my vocals I really enjoyed it and would like to do it again.
I also really enjoyed learning about microphones and how to set the up I found it really interesting and I know will help me in the future when I am working by myself. However I really did not enjoy the mixing on this project I would say I hated it takes so much time to make a track sound good through mixing if you do not know what you are doing and it can make you feel really drained at times just constantly remixing one instrument over and over to make it sound the best it can be.
Overall all though I believe my work for this project is a pretty good success the song we have recorded sounds the exact same way I have imagined in my head and even sounds better on some parts because of the band members great ideas. I also believed my mixing for the final track is pretty decent as I have no idea how to mix but I made it sound pretty good in my opinion.
If I could do this project again I would want to record a song that is a completely different style to the song we have made something more funkier something even more angrier. I would also want to use different type of instruments such as brass or violins if possible something very orchestral.
If I did this project again I would like to do more research about mixing by vising websites and watching YouTube videos so I can learn how to mix better and also understand it more.
I have gained so many skills from this project from my skills as a musician and a rapper to my mixing skills and my understanding of studio recording I feel like my skills have advanced and I am moving onto a different level I cannot wait to start project 5 and see what ways I will improve as a musician producer and artist at the end of the project.
Overall if I gave this whole project a verdict of how much I enjoyed it I would give it a 6.5 to a 7/10 I would do this project again if I get to rehearse and record music and somebody else mixes it for me because I really do not enjoy mixing.
