Evening peoples!
Excitingly, after a good 2 hour session of exporting as audio and bouncing and importing again, the actual track is starting to properly take shape. It’s only a shadow of what it’s going to be, but it inspires a great amount of pride nonetheless. It’s like seeing a rock n roll ultrasound :) Included in the audio bounces were the mass of drum tracks that I managed to get finished off last week. Although I did a few desperate tweaks before I finalised it all and added some yummy fills, so now that’s the drums recorded! Let’s go over to the board...
Ding, ding, ding! Nice work, me.
With my project developing lovingly, I turned my attention to the adminny stuff and asked one of my tutors if I could book out the concert hall for the choir recording later on, and a very bad thing happened, followed immediately by a very, VERY good one. Apparently, due to the concert hall’s doubling as a lecture theatre, it’s very rarely free, so I’d have to choose a really pain-in-tharse time, which made me look like this:
I was told, however, that there is a room big enough, and maybe even better for the recording that is frequently available; any guesses? Anyone? No?
It’s only the ENTIRE CHURCH.
Apparently st. Pauls hall has been properly redone as a concert hall, with a mixing booth at the back and everything, and it’s still a church. Still a massive echoey awesome church. So I’ll be recording the choir of hoodlums in there, which when you think about it, is rather apt. As it is a choir, after all. And it is a Christmas song. I love Huddersfield.
There has been a slight tiny snag on this, though. It seems as though no one seems to know how one goes about booking out the church. It’s like in a final fantasy game where you end up having to talk to everyone a million times, because all they do is tell you to talk to someone else. A tutor referred me to another tutor, who referred me to another, who referred me to the scary tech people, who told me in a deeply unhelpful way that I’d have to talk to the people in charge of the church. Now, unless he meant the Pope, or God, I’m stuck. I’ll have another root around tomorrow.
On an equally musical note, I have now started recording ‘I Wanna Be a Pirate’, and I’m thinking about releasing the MP3 of that at the same time as Jenky Aid, so watch this space, buccaneer lovers!
See you soon! xxx
