1st week review

I first entered the studio with a vision of creating "electronic music" at the beginning of the spring term. I took up Audio production class and began to learn the tools of the trade. The first few weeks were painfully slow trying to translate my ideas into the very rigid program Protools. The big things I've learned so far are:

A. Getting the sound you want can take hours and one wrong click and can cost you a lot of time, so be patient and careful.
B. Its essential to save religiously when manipulating the recordings. The system can glitch out and ruin that recording you were super stoked on.
C. Get all your ideas on to the page and then start messing with sounds and effects. The most valuable parts are the written pieces which can
D.  Try your hardest to capture that Jam feeling, the spontaneous noodling over the main body of music. When recording through Midi it can become very easy to remove the soul and feeling to the piece. Don't just write the music in, record it!
E. Listen to the songs on both great quality speakers and computer quality speakers. The difference from the studio's speakers to those of my phone or computer is tremendous. Master the tracks with this in mind, Add effects to the music that allow it to be heard on all spectrums of audio devices.

This whole process has been really enjoyable and has allowed my artistic abilities to grow in many ways. There is so much thought that goes into to just selecting one sound for one song, The intricacy and the room for error is immense. I've learned to just take it step by step, put the pen to the page and go from there.
