P4: Evidence of Collaboration

As a band, we made a huge collaborative effort to get our first song recorded so that we could assess our own performance. The recording was done by the Level 0 Production students in their Studio Skills lecture where we were put in a studio environment to record our piece called: 'Play On'.

Here are the stems from our recording

This was recorded on the 24th May which is why it is not perfect on our parts.

Here is a mix of the recording done by an ACM Student

In this recording we demonstrated great syncopation and that we work well as a band. We used an ensemble recording technique for this piece. Although I personally prefer to record musicians individually as I prefer playing to a click alone when it comes to recording as I don't get distracted by other instruments and I can focus on my own parts.

Overall, I think this recording went well and is an accurate portrayal of where the song has gone and what it was like at the time. The song has an intro section now which builds up tension for the crowd.
