Goooooooood morning!
I'm so excited to show off all the things we've learned this week. Jason is coming in this afternoon and we have TONS to show him. We have our covers of Friday and All the Right Moves, and we also have two sample packs (one of saxophone, one of percussion sounds on cello) to show him. What we want to ask him are how to get good loops of those set up, and also how to set up a drum kit using the cello sounds we made.
When I came in this morning I started working on the saxophone solo for Edge of Glory. Since we'd like to do a cover of that song (we have the vocals worked out nicely), I want to be able to do a recording of that today or Monday. I managed to find a decent sheet music copy of the solo for alto saxophone, so I just need to transpose it down a major third (since we're taking the whole piece down for ease of vocal range). Once I get the sheet music printed, I should be able to work on the solo and get it recorded using the akg mic. We're hoping to use the drum kit we create with Erica's cello sounds to create the drum beat for this cover.
