We’re back and better than ever this week with part 4 of the One Song One Month Challenge. If you’re just joining us then welcome. We’re in the middle of writing and recording an original song in one month. Sound like fun? Then join us! Check out the videos below to catch up…
Here is how the weeks are broken up for our challenge:
- Starting Your Song – Creating a session, setting tempo, initial recording
- Rhythm – Using loops and drum machines to fill out the track
- Virtual Instruments – Using MIDI tracks to enhance your arrangement
- Editing – Comping vocals and overall cleanup
- Mixing – Basic mixing tips and techniques
