Another Demo (November 2011)

Here's another short one I recorded.  This one's got a bit of a cleaner tone since I've learned more on level balancing and bass/treble control in my recording.
*I cheated a bit and used a pre-made drum loop on this one.  Oh well.

Soundcloud (October 28, 2011)

I found an awesome website called Soundcloud where I can upload and organize my recordings.

I've also begun attempting to record.  It's a short and rough demo, but it's a start.

First Demo (October 2011)

Just finished recording my first short demo of a track I'm working on.  I uploaded it to my page on a new website I found called Soundcloud where you can upload your own music.

First Steps (October 2011)

Since starting my project, I have been attempting to round up anything that will come in handy in the recording process.  So far I have a microphone, some stands, amp, and an awesome software called Mixcraft.  I will be doing the majority of the recording on this program.

Meeting with My Mentor

I met with my mentor, Daniel Hill, this summer at his studio in Nashville.  He gave me some valuable info on the recording industry and the processes that go into making a record.  Unfortunately, due to the distance of his studio from here, this will be my only meeting with Daniel during the course of my project.  But I believe I got more than enough info to get the ball rolling.

Start (September 2012)

After much consideration, I have finally decided to learn about recording music for my IB Personal Project.  My mentor will be my 2nd cousin Daniel Hill, a record executive in the Nashville music scene and President of Cal IV Studios.  Can't wait to get started.
