the ep

due to blogger having an issue with sharing audio we have had to upload the tracks to soundcloud , to be able to link the tracks on here. the tracks are in order apart from mrs jane which was not originally meant to be on the ep, however it now is just for this project but will not be properly released in our ep.

more drum recording + bass

Image
 yesterday on the 10th of may we decided to record drums for one of our songs called 'dead'. we set up a kick mic, a floor tom an high tom mic, a hi hat mic, a snare top and bottom mic and 2 overhead mics. this got all of the sound out of the drums that we needed for this song, as i incorporate all of the drums and cymbals throughout this song. after setting up the mics and tuning the drums to a decent sound we connected headphones to the studio and logic, meaning i could hear the click from logic this time and not from my phone like last time. i think this worked well as we didn't have to line up the drums to the click like before and it sounded pretty tight. for the recording as it was just me and the click and no other instruments i asked anthony to come in the room with me to tell me/sing me the changes. this was a good idea, because all went well and i got the structure of the song perfectly. this meant that my first take was pretty good. we had a break and then did on...

recording guitar

Image
 After recording my drums on Wednesday we decided to record guitar the next day also for the song 'i wrote this in your bed'. Alex set up all of his pedals and we put mics in front of the amp he was using. After he was set up we put a clicl track to my drums and tried to connect it to his headphones. However he said that his guitar was too loud in the headphones and he could barely hear the drums. so we decided to send the drums and clicl on WhatsApp as an mp3 so that he could listen through his headphones, which worked well. Alex wasn't comfortable with playing without either the bass or vocals, as he wasn't used to it, so we set up an auto interface and plugged Isaac's bass in and let him record his baseline to the song. After that Anthony decided to record a basic vocal guide to help Alex. We then managed to record Alex's guitar and after a few takes we got a good one. Next we filmed Alex fake playing to the track coming out of the pa so that we had more foot...

step by step for my final major project

 for my final major project i have decided to create an ep with my band the cage. to do this we have discussed the steps we will need to take to create this ep: the first thing we discussed is the genre and style we want the ep to be in, as all songs have to sound similair. we came up with an indie-rock kind of genre , as it will fit well for our band. the next thing we talked about is creating a theme for the ep and brainstorming ideas for what it would be aout. we sat down in the studio and isaac came up with an idea of basing all the song on different types of fish. we then thought more and decided we could write the songs based on fish but have a deeper meaning to them. after this we started writing the first song based on our genre and theme that we decided. we came up with around half a full song, which was good and we will continue it another time, as well as creating new ideas for the 4 other songs. as we haven't got to this stage yet we would like to be able to record demo...
