Signing in.... Remember to ALWAYS back up your compositional recordings and if you've done that double back it up!!! Today, a day before the compositional assignment is due I was unfortunate to experience losing all my comp. recorded material (that I have previously posted about), although I had backed up all the material on a USB the files could not be found on the laptop or USB. I went into university to finalise recording the electric bass part (with Luke peterson on Bass) and overall editing. During recording the bass riff, my Garageband crashed and all previously recorded parts disappeared and were not retrievable. I asked the technology department for assistance, in which they tried their best to look for the missing files but were unable to locate them. I therefore made the quick decision to re-record my entire composition. Recording the bass part first, the Piano line again and the drum patterns for each section were also recorded again followed by vocals. I recorded each instrument theme or part separately (as shown in the image below) just to make it more accessible to play around with while editing. When recording the first time, I used higher quality recording devises which gave an overall clearer and cleaner sound. Today, I only had a snowball mic to record with, which still did an accurate job, however I needed to edit a little more, by adding compression and effects on the instrument lines to make the recording sound more professional. After re-recording the composition, I began to edit by adding compression on the vocals, balancing all the parts in terms of volume and placement (panning) and adding tasteful effects like fading in and out. After a solid day of re- recording and editing, it all came together! This is my LAST Blog post for the compositional project. I hope you've enjoyed reading my comp. journal and the processes I have taken to follow my 'Baby steps' and in some cases re- adjust them to complete the composition 'Falling For You'
