mixed and recorded my Dads band performing Thunderclouds by Sia. When recording, I made sure to make sure to give light feedback in between takes but mostly I let the artist&#8217;s themselves figure it out. I let them do as many takes as needed to make sure they got the best recording possible. I learned how to use the recording studio so much better from this project.<\/strong> <br><br><strong>When mixing, I wanted to keep the emotion the performers put into the performance but also making sure everyone instrument was heard well. I used compression and EQing to do this. I felt I gained a greater understanding of pro tools mixing capabilities as a result of this project.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reflection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I really enjoyed this project. I had fun working with my Dads band. The song they performed I had actually played on months earlier and it was really fun to see the progress on the song. I had done music all my life but being on the recording engineer side was such a unique and fun experience. I had also never done any kind of mixing before and it was really cool to see how much better the song sounded after mixing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the music recording project I recorded local musicians in the Freestyle recording studio and mixed what they played to create a professional sounding song.
