April 6-7, 2019: Getting Up To Speed

Hellooooooo! First blog post here, so let’s see how it goes and jump right into it:

For senior project, Dominic and I are making music over the internet. Our original plan was to make music in person, but with covid 19 that’s definitely NOT going to happen.

The past couple of days for Dominic and I have been spent getting one another acquainted with the prospect of music-making over the internet. Mainly, I’ve been getting Dominic up to speed on how to create digital music, since he’ll have to know how to on his own since we can’t see each other – so this means teaching him the basics of Logic Pro X, including how to make drum patterns, mix using compression, eq, etc… A lot of little things, but mainly we’ve been messing around with how to create drums from our computer. The pre-covid plan was for Dominic to play drums that I had set up at my house, but since we can’t see each other, and Dominic doesn’t have a drum kit, we’ve moved to digital drums instead.

Beyond what’s written above, we’ve been sending projects back and forth to each other and seeing what sounds good to our ears, what we want our music to sound like, etc. We plan on starting the actual music-making within the week, and then we’ll actually have some to post here for you all. Till next post,

Gus
