I think I chose well to create a comfortable project but could have definitely pushed myself more.<br><br>The take-away that I got from this project was the ability to record with more confidence and accuracy, as well as less anxiety when going for takes. This will benefit me in future when I continue building an online portfolio. Another benefit to this project is that I got to experiment with mixing more, so I know my way around certain tools more and feel more comfortable trying to make up techniques as I go along just to see if they work. I&#8217;m also more open to trying tried and true techniques for mixing drums and guitar in particular if I am to do similar style songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I hadn&#8217;t recorded video when I was recording takes for guitar, I had to mime playing and use that for the video side of the project. This is due to my focus not being able to be split between a good video and a good audio recording. I would say that the video is believable but does have some errors, like the top left guitar strumming too early as I changed the count-in to an offbeat due to the intro drums stopping suddenly. I could have made a separate file with just the guitar to mime along to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My mix sounds okay as everything is well balanced and nothing is too muddy, but I could have really brought out that 1979 guitar tone if I had used a proper recording space, whether it be an external studio or if I got a rare opportunity to use the college studio undisturbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My video editing does the job, despite how basic it is. Everything is in sync which is the main focus and each video is spaced reasonably. I am happy that I chose this format in particular as I believe this will really help with building an online portfolio in future in a similar fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main downside to this project is that I didn&#8217;t get a decent take of me playing drums, as I really wish I had a video to put in the bottom right to level it out and display my progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evaluation: All in all, I would say the main positive from this project is that my cover is accurate structurally and melodically, and the level at which I am performing at on guitar while recording is sufficient for this song.
