When you do something everyday it helps a writer get into a flow and makes it easier to write from a natural place and keep a <a href=\"https:\/\/songtown.com\/on-songwriting\/overcoming-writers-block-9-techniques\/\">&#8220;creative groove&#8221;<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Recording Problems: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the recording phase i encountered some issues that i have not faced during previous projects. luckily i briefly researched into them before hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One issue that i faced was background noise since i wasn&#8217;t always recording in acoustically treated studio environments. To solve this, i adjusted microphone gain and tried moving my microphone to different points in the room where room noise was at its lowest. I also recorded multiple takes using the swipe comping feature on logic, this allows me to record the same thing multiple times and pick wich parts i want to keep. I can also Improve slight noise issues in post by using eq to reduce frequencies that cause muddiness or harshness, you could also apply a noise gate to cut out quieter signals, capture a &#8220;noise print&#8221; of pure background static to subtract it, or just manually delite dead air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Marketing Problems:<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the main issue that could have arouse as a result of poor marketing is low audience engagement. This issue can come from many different mistakes, or even just short term unluckiness with algorithms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Consistency- <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It takes about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oberlo.com\/blog\/branding-statistics\">0.05 seconds<\/a> for people to form an opinion on your marketing strategy. So its important to find a pattern that works for you and stick to it. With my social media marketing, i tried a lot of different strategies and didn&#8217;t stick to one long enough to see if it would pay off, and since i was using free social media such as TikTok, Instagram reels, and Snapchat this relied heavily on repeat viewers. In future projects during my next steps of education, i will take this on board and allow time to focus on finding a niche that works for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Time managment:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My project to produce and market 2 original songs was a challenging but achievable goal. However, due to unorginisation in the planning and schedule i found i quite often was behind where i wanted to be, taking into consideration the deadline. I tried to fix this when i spotted that it was effecting my productivity, and made a schedule organised by what i needed to achive, how fast i needed to do it, and the importance off it. This is the best way of how i could have got myself on track in a shorter period off time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Evaluation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">overall, problem solving is an important part of the project because it helps me to learn new ways to overcome issues that i may have not faced yet, witch overtime will drastically increase the technical and creative quality of the final songs. Each challenge helped me deepen my understanding of music production, recording technices, and management skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Problem solving is crucial to consider, to realise and reflect how thease problems arose and how i can reduce the chance of the same ones arising in the future.
