Week 16

hi there Guyz and this my 16th week at noise pollution making some noise i have gone away and done a bit practice to come back this week and play to my perfection i thought i had lost most of my talent the week before but after a bit of practice i soon bounced back.  Today so far i came in this morning and practiced the intro and I'm currently working on the solo half way through the song. i hadn't done this at home but I'm soon picking it up in the studio. we also discussed different styles of recording songs i.e. slow, fast, jazz  i also had experimented with some of these styles on both piano and briefly on the organ. i think its important to try different methods of performing songs to find which playing style sounds best but also remembering that you also experiment into deep detail with songs adding instruments and effects later on.

Chillin at the desk!

Practicing- Maggie

continuing from today's session. today i have at last finished performing the chord notes for my Maggie may song wrote by rod Stewart it was a rough ride trying to get the timing right and to make the music sound bitter sweet.


now for some 70s recording techniques

i had at a few bits of information that caught my eye but it was all to finicky for me to understand but what took my eye was that this piece in information I'm gonna put on the blog about reverb chambers back then

"When it came to Chambers, if you worked for a really good place like Capitol, your chamber was probably specially manufactured rooms or stairwells. If you were poor, you had a spring reverb. If you were rich, you had an EMT plate. If you were really creative, you could use a tape machine for all sorts of effects, like echoes, delays, phasing/flanging. You could also take a beefy power amplifier, connect that to a sinewave oscillator and voilà! Variable speed generator for your tape recorder". 


Simon suggested that we have ago at making our on reverb chamber in the hallway of the studio which i think is a reasonably good idea however we would need to plan how we would mix the reverb in if we were to use it and most of the instruments would require this also which takes time and preparation.
