Progression throughout the recording processes for the EP have temporarily come to a halt, due to the independent study module taking priority over the past and coming fortnight. Ideas for the 3rd track have been discussed and we are currently in the process of getting household items such as pots, pans, and buckets ready for the next studio session

Yesterday we were able to gain access to the multitrack studio to record single hit elements of the household items ready for composition of the 3rd piece. Due to the high demands of the multitrack studio and booking system in place, each item was recorded individually with a variety of pressurized hits ready to be exported and edited for splicing to put into drumagog 5 as samples. After programmed into drumagog 5, these velocity variant samples should sound realistic when played via MIDI through the electric drum module. Out of all the rooms within the multitrack studio, the dead room provided the most clarity for the drum recordings, as the samples needed to be as clear as possible without any issues in regards to room sound, echo or tonality. The microphones used within this recording session included:

SE Electronics – SEx1

AKG  – C414

Shure – SM57

The recorded hits from the multitrack studio have now been brought into a cubase 5 session and editing on creating samples ready for input within has progressed. I am over halfway through the edits and we are aiming to finish these edits ready for the next recording session where performance aspects will be the main focus.
