Studio Orchestra Week 11

This week we will try to finish up our recordings of song #1. We will track lead vocals, backgrounds, percussion, etc.

If we don't finish this week, we will either take some time next week, or make a "to do" list and begin working on some original music.

Songwriting Workshop

Next week we will attend a songwriting workshop led by singer/songwriter Rebecca Black, and hosted by HCC. Check out her music here.

Time to Record!

Spring Break is OVER! Time to get down to business. We will be recording in both classes this week.

MW Class-- Beat It. We will track drums, bass, guitar, keys, and scratch vocals on Monday, and add other parts as we go in the next few classes.

TTh Class-- Hard to Handle. We will track guitar solos and keyboards on Tuesday, vocals on Thursday, and everything else in the next class or 2.

We will begin writing something original after we finish basic tracks on the first song.
