Problems with Recording
Over the recording period of the EP we faced two major fuck ups. The first being that when recording takes for the first time the Macbook we were using died and we lost a lot of takes we were initially thought were recorded. For the second time of recording we assured that the Macbook was plugged into a charger before recording. However the second time of recording it turned out that even after assurance from one of my tutors who was playing bass on the EP (Ali Smyth) that he had failed to press the record button and all takes we had played were lost. This was unfortunate as once we had found out that this was the case it was to late to continue recording.  However after these first two failed recording sessions the rest ran smoothly.

The situation with the bassist was much worse as he just did not know how to play bass. Although that is what he considered to be his main instrument it was apparent that he was not committed nor efficient in his instrument of choice. Not only was it a prob...

I thought the tone of the guitar would sound great on my EP and perfectly serve the music. However neither I or the college own a left handed electro-acoustic guitar. So I will either have to purchase my own or request a right handed guitarist to play the parts I right for me

Over the past 2 weeks I have begun doing rough demos of the song I wish to write and record. Through doing this I have been able to obtain a clearer idea of what the tracks will sound like when completed. I have recorded these demos by using a audio interface and plugging my guitar into Logic Pro X for all guitar and bass parts and for the drum and any other parts i've used a midi keyboard to record
