SUMMARY
Today was great. I finally finished mixing and mastering my album, I learned more about songwriting styles and techniques, and I learned how to train my ears for mixing.
LEADERSHIP ACTIVITY
I would like to make a song with aAndreas and also work on my own project which I will probably mostly do in my own time
PRACTICE ROOM (GUITAR LESSONS)
I watched the first video and then worked on the song I started yesterday.
CLASSROOM (THEORY & ANALYSIS)
Notes:
-The importance of silence and letting the music breathe in a song
-Sometimes in mixing you only want to sand, not shave
I watched more of the wholistic songwriting artist series and worked more on the piece.
LAB (THEORY PRACTICED)
Worked on mixing my album
OUTSIDE (CREATIVITY & THE BRAIN)
worked more on song
STUDIO (SONGWRITING)
I finished mastering my new album 🙂
CONTROL ROOM (RECORDING & MIXING)
Finished the last little mastering bits in my album and exported all my songs.
WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED
Problem: I have muddiness in my mix
Solution: EQ
I also learned more about songwriting techniques and chord progressions
