This week we focussed on rehearsing the songs that we had and explored ideas for new songs,
Myself and Keelan met twice last week to write some new songs and we managed to come out of those sessions with 1 new song "Make a Stand", which we have also started recording, in conjunction with the 3 that we had last week.
This session happened at my house where I have a little home studio set up with a small amp, midi controller and interface. In this recording session we recorder the 2 guitars (lead and rhythm), added a midi bass line to mimic our initial idea and allow the bassist to have an idea of what we wanted the track to sound, we also programmed a drum beat with 4 different sections. I had a hard time trying to program the drums so I asked for help from Rob G. with issues like tempo, turning the track from midi to audio and vice versa, we also brushed on things like how to "Pan" different instruments left and right to ensure the sound is not just being "forced" through 1 mono channel. Also learned more about the positioning of the microphone in front of the amp and how different approaches create slightly different sounds.
This week was also a week of disappointments as our drummer decided to leave the project after a few weeks, we were devastated but quickly realised we needed to find a new drummer.
