Cole Newman\'s Journal Entries: July 22nd + 25th - Posted on 2013-07-30 by Cole Newman

Monday July 22nd:

    Today in the studio I set up Pro Tools and began recording Tara playing another song on piano, it's called "Two Worlds", a song out of a Disney movie, Tarzan I believe. We ended up recording about 20 takes, as she was having some trouble with the song. In the end this was pretty favourable for me as it gave me a lot of practice with editing the song. We didn't have the entire track recorded in one take, so she showed me how to cut the other takes and use pieces of them to build one whole good take. There were some timing errors in the track as well, so Tara showed me how to move notes around to correct the errors, she then let me fix up the track. She showed me how to smooth out the transitions to make it sound more like one take. It was still a little choppy sounding in the end, but I got lots of practice with raw editing.

Thursday July 25th:

    I went into the studio to help Kuba out, but it was a relatively slow day there so I ended up just working on my assignment for most of it. I also listened to some isolated drum and vocal tracks that I could find on Youtube.
