Drums from our song: I wanna Go Home

 

There has been a lot of problems with drummers for this project. Filip and I couldn’t find anyone to come in on time to keep to the schedule we made. Filip then suggested (as we were running out of time) that we should use VST drums. Filip did record drums for one track but we decided to stay with VST as Filip couldn’t drum the part, he’s not specialised in drums so it wasn’t very good. We looked at the MIDI our client sent us and turned from being very basic and simple to something more complex, we added velocity, weight behind the drum hits and swing. Here are some of the screenshots of the process we went through. Also, some audio of the drum tracks that our client sent us and what our end drums sound like.

 

This is the original drum MIDI from our client.

 

This is our improved version of the drums (VST)

 

 

This ideal the timetable that we want to follow for our project to keep  us on track through out the project

week 6:

This week has to be the worst week as we now lost both our drummer and out original guitarist. Luckily i knew a guitarist that is very talented with the genre of music and has agreed to help me and Filip out over the easter break with not only guitar but our vocals as well. lucky for us that means we don’t have to waste extra timing trying to find a singer for our EP project.

 

Later this week we also had a Skype call with Jacob. this was so we could keep each other in the loop as Jacob is an artist living in Poland. We sent him audio files of the guitar that we have recored so far and a link to our new singer to make sure that he is happy with the sound of his vocals as they are Jacobs songs at the end of all this. he seemed to really like our vocalist.

Week 5:

Because of our no show drummer, we had to find someone else. This was a problem because it was in the middle of the semester and a lot of people who we had asked were busy with there own projects and weren’t available when we needed them. Because of this Filip had to record the drums himself, which took a bit of extra time as the drums were complicated, so the drumming week may go into to next week, leaving us slightly behind. However we could stay late nights in the studio to make up for lost time
