So today, my mentor and I continued to work on "Shadow of the Day" and I actually got the drums part finished today. As I went into the studio today, I learned that a good quote to remember is that, "If you have an idea, do it," in music terms anyway! For instance, if you figure out a song idea lets say, and you want to start from there and finish it and turn it into a whole song. So back to "Shadow of the Day." Like I said before, I finished the percussion part of the song and today, I played the bass guitar and got that part done too. I made a lot of progress on reproducing the song. What I am doing with the song is my mentor is showing me how to music produce and showing me how the professional artists create and do their music. So far, I have learned a lot and I have gotten a lot more comfortable around the studio. That was pretty much my day today and it went really well!
