Semester Overview

Here is where I am going to try and fill in all the gaps.

Wed. February 20th and 21st we recorded. On the 20th we laid down all the music tracks, and on the 21st we did vocals.

Sun. March 23rd Went into studio for the first time to get a rough mix. I waited so long after we recorded because I didn't want to start studio until after spring break.

Wed. March 26th Went into studio to do more rough cut mixing. I messed up and accidentally brought down the main mixer faders while I was adjusting levels, and I couldn't figure out why the song mix was so quite. Until it hit me that night in bed.

Wed April 2nd I finished my rough mixes.

Saturday April 12th I had my first meeting with Stan, he helped me a lot with my mix. He just helped me with one song, and had me study it and apply the same basic ideas to my other mixes.

The week of April 13th through the 19th I couldn't get into studio, every time I tried to get in, all the suites were full. I was however able to meet with Stan one time during this week, with Charles, and helped me further on with my mixes.

Wednesday April 23rd had a practice run for our showcase, both Charles and my mixes didn't come up in surround, only stereo. Hopefully we can fix this for the real deal on Friday May 2nd.

April 28th I am scheduled to meet with Stan tomorrow on the 29th at 10:20am, I am hoping to show him my improved songs, and hope that they will be good enough to bounce them out in surround. So Charles and I can put them on the DVD for our showcase.

Almost there.

I had my meeting with Stan yesterday. He helped me a lot with one song Closer. Then he told me to study what he had done and do that to the other mixes. I still have to put some automated mutes, and fade outs for the song as well. Stan also helped me to put the song in 5.1 souround sound. I still need to do that with the others.

My last two songs are done rough cuts are over.

Thats right I finished my last two songs last night. I honestly don't like how my last two songs have turned out, they sound muddied and congested. I have to go through them and figure out how to clean them up. I hope Stan can help me.
