I enjoyed working on this project and had a lot of fun recording my song. Although looking back now i think i could’ve done a better job if I had formulated a plan for the song on how to record it and mix it instead if just doing it without a plan and kind of just thinking of what I want to do on the spot. The recordings would have gone a lot smoother and less hectic if I had planned it beforehand. When i did my recordings i just came in and played my chorus and made up a verse part while recording. I feel as though if i had planned it i could have come up with a better verse part and maybe even made a little lead part for it because it sounds too basic because all it is is 4 rhythm guitars and no lead. I feel like if i did this song with a band and we recorded everything together this song would have sounded better and had a better feel to it as a rock song.
The artwork i did this project was also fun. Just to be messing about with photoshop and seeing how what i thought about come to reality. It was a very funny picture that i made but it’s all about having fun with doing what we like in this course as long as it is relevant to our course. Rehearsals with the band would have been so very beneficial for this project and would have came out so so much nicer.
The mixing aspect of this project was quite interesting and stressful because i kept changing what i wanted the song to sound like and it ended up being very difficult to get it to sound right to me so it just wasn’t worth the hassle after all of this mind changing. I have a feeling that i might be starting to become a perfectionist so I need to work on my not changing ideas constantly and possibly just stick to one idea. I need to sort this out before the final major project because there i will not have any time to change my mind and change my idea halfway through.
