The first thing I did when I came in today was to finish the supplemental activity and finish the sakai evaluation. That was a pretty helpful tool, so I was pleased to have had the experience and will use the supplement as a resource later in the course. The rest of the day was spent working on finishing "Friday". For the moment I'm waiting on Jordan to learn the section that needs a male vocalist, and then we will try to hear, learn, and record the backup vocals. We should have a complete cover soon. While we're finishing that, Erica is learning the cello part to "All the Right Moves" by One Republic. Once she does that, we'll work with the Drum part Erin has put together, and I'll learn the vocals. Hopefully we'll do an entire cover of that song as well.
I really think that this part of the course is pivotal. Working on songs that we like, know, and enjoy creating is a really great way for us to get comfortable with the software. We've already essentially created our own virtual instruments, because we've had to work with the patches we have and alter them to sound more like the instrumentals we want. It's also much less intimidating than the idea of composing an original piece.
