Music Recording Diary

Day 1
Lyrics Writing.
Location: Cheney school Music department
The three of us that is going feature in the track (Jesse, Josh and Joseph  sat down together and wrote our lyrics together as a group. After we were done, we read  each other's lyrics and we gave opinions about the ones why like and what we could have done better to improve.


Day 2
Rehearsal
Location: Cheney school Music department
we all went to the Music department and rehearsed. At first it we didn't like the chorus because it was not catchy, so we decided to change some bits of the chorus to make it a bit more catchy because Club based Hip-Hop music are usually catchy, so in order to make sure that our Music video fit into the genre and adapt the club theme, we had to make the chorus catchy as well.

Day 3
First Studio Recording Day
Location: Ark-T Center Cowley
On the 2nd of November we had a 2 hours session booked. Unfortunately Jesse Could not make it to the studio that day because he was ill so we knew that the song would not be finished by that day so josh and i went to the studio to record the First draft of 'In the Air' just to see how it will sound and to know if we had to change anything in the beat. By this time i haven't fully memorized my lyrics so my recording did not sound very well because i kept making mistakes. Overall our First Draft wasn't very good because we were not fully prepared. We decide to to book another studio session on the 7th of November in order to rerecord our music.

Day 3
2nd Studio Recording Day
Location: Ark-T Center Cowley
On the 7th of November we all went to the studio which was a 2 hours session. Fortunately none of us was ill and we all made it to the studio on time. Josh recorded first as because he was singing the chorus and his verse was first.   Although he lost his voice a couple of times, overall his recording sounded good. My verse was second and i was happy with my recording as well. The Recording went well because, by this time i had learnt and memorized all my lyrics so my verse sounded well and just the way i wanted it to be.Jesse's verse was last and his recording also went well it took a while for him to his verse right and on time. We ran out of time so we had to book another session to edit and master the song which we have created.

Day 4
2nd Studio Recording Day
Location: Ark-T Center Cowley
We went to the Studio on the 15th of November. After listening to the recorded song over and over again we concluded that we wanted to make some few changes to the song. For example; Josh wanted to add another layer of his voice to the song and Jesse wanted to rerecord the last bit of his verse. They succeeded and everything when well as planed. While the song was being edited we all had ideas of what effect we wanted to add to the song. For example Josh wanted to add a G-verb to the chorus  Jesse wanted to add a delay and an echo to his verse and i wanted to add an heart beat to my verse. Everything went well and the song was mastered to make sure it had the best quality. After the session we were all pleased with the production.
