Beginning of the week

So Monday I finished up the last bit of Chapter 5, finished the analysis and took the post test. After that, I started on Chapter 5 and worked my way through the first few sections. Nothing too interesting, but I heard a song on Pandora ("Like A Stone" by Audioslave) that I thought I could make with Reason and Sonar, so I started the drum beat for that at the end of the day. I got really interested in it and worked on it for most of Tuesday, and then for a little bit in the morning on Wednesday. I made it a decent way through the song and only have about a third of it left. I found it difficult to find the right chord when trying to translate guitar chords into sonar, so that took me a long time. Not having any real experience with chords made this pretty challenging for me, but with some online help I think I got all of the correct chords I needed. I'm pretty happy with what I have so far and I might come back after everyone is gone one day and lay down a vocal track for it - see if I still have any singing skills left! I've been having fun with it, but it is time to finish up Chapter 7 so I'll be waiting to finish that song until after I've finished 7.

  1. Could have asked a musician. We're pretty chord-savvy.
