This week, the book did not have any new material. Instead, it was just the all of the section reviews from the previous chapters. This week was a breeze, as I take solid notes in every piece of the book. I took the midterm at the studio with Boo present, per the instructions of the textbook. I made an A on the midterm, only missing two questions! I made a simple mistake on one of the questions, and second guessed myself another. Always go with your first gut instinct! After the midterm, it was time to get started on one of my projects!
I'm working on a remix/my take on a song that's very popular right now. I don't want to say anything else beyond that, I don't want to give it away as to what it is. For this project, I'm using a great acapella of the song I'm working with that I found online, a piano line that I played using my MIDI keyboard, and I added some strings using FL Studio's Direct Wave Player. Boo and I added a doubled electric guitar part, and a guitar solo played by Boo! I still need to add a real bass guitar and some drums using Boo's Steven Slade Drum plugin. Once I have all of that, I'm going to mix and master it using Pro Tools. I'm excited for how this will turn out!
