In our continuing efforts to put together a remarkable, record-setting performance, we're working on improving all aspects of our work. This week we focused on sound-recording.
It started with the arrival of our new digital audio computer interface, a.k.a. a fancy piece of equipment that allows us to record vocals and instruments into our computer so that we can mix it and make it sound cool. We love getting parcels at the office, especially when they contain exciting new things that we get to play around with. Unfortunately, we have limited knowledge about studio-quality recording, and even less knowledge about the intricacies of the equipment. Fortunately, we have friends who do. :)
Sam asked an old friend who knows quite a bit about recording (he hopes to own his own recording studio someday.) So Simon came into the office today and gave us an AWESOME lesson, not only about how to use our new equipment, but also about recording in general. We learned about sound and what the interface hardware and mixing software do with it and how we can control it. Simon did a really great job explaining the basics to us, because we can't expect to create quality soundtracks if we don't truly understand sound, or tracks really. Now we at least know something about it. We all took a lot from the afternoon and can't wait to start recording!
It was also a BIG day in the office, as we made several more bookings. We figured that once we got the ball rolling, momentum will start bringing in the bookings, and now it's starting to move! If you have any connections with a theatre, secondary school or large church (hall capacity of over 300), be sure to check out how to get involved. The more people we have supporting this project, the better chance we have of succeeding.
