This year, we were on the other side of the glass, and recorded someone else in the studio. Me and my friend Cade decided to collaborate, and I recorded them playing the song <em>Bunny Girl<\/em> by AKASAKI on the acoustic guitar. I learned how to create a session using Pro Tools, and we began recording different takes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cade is a senior at Los Altos High School and Freestyle Academy. We collaborated last year in the previous recording project where they taught me to play the guitar. We both played <em>Fight Song<\/em> by Eve, me on the guitar and them on the piano. They independently learned to play the guitar, and have been playing for a couple years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">The Music<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~VeeL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/VeeL-Music-Recording-w-CadeL.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this project, I brought Cade into the recording studio where they played <em>Bunny Girl<\/em> by AKASAKI. This was one of the first Japanese songs that got them into the genre of J-Pop. It was also one of the first songs they learned to play on the guitar. This was our second time collaborating for a project, and I had so much fun in the recording studio with them again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started with learning how to record someone in the studio. We decided to record in the same room to make communication easier and more comfortable. Cade did a practice take to get used to recording in the space, then we kept going. I made a few mistakes, and forgot to hit the correct button to begin recording the session, but we stopped and started again. I adjusted the volume, and made sure the playlists were organized and aligned with the backing track. We continued doing takes and eventually Cade was happy with their recording. Afterwards, I normalized the recording, adjusted the volume of the tracks, and bounced the files. Although being on the recording end was very different from being recorded, it was a valuable experience learning to be recorded and record others. It was also a lot of fun to be able to do this again with my friend. I\u2019m very glad I was able to do this to get to know what it\u2019s like to be on the other side of the recording studio and see my friend play a song that means so much to them.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\"
