MAY MEETING - SAVET THE DATE!

Please save the date, Tuesday May 18th 7pm which will be a SONG FEEDBACK SESSION!

Feedback from the April meeting was that we really enjoyed listening to everyone's songs so we decided to continue this thread for the May meeting.

If you'd like to submit a song for the group to listen to and provide feedback on then watch out for the submission link which I'll post as soon as I have it - there you can submit your mp3 & lyric sheet ahead of the meeting.

NSAI Glasgow Chapter July Meeting - Zoom

Wednesday, July 15, 2020 - 11:09am

Hi all

How are you?

We are looking forward to catching up with you all at the on-line July meeting!

The Agenda will follow, but meanwhile here are the exercises on July's topic, 'Production and Recording' for you to have a go at :)

JULY EXC: PRODUCTION & RECORDING
"If you had a sign above every studio door saying, 'This Studio is a Musical Instrument,' it would make such a different approach to recording." – Brian Eno

EXERCISES:

1. DO YOUR RESEARCH!

Make a list of 2-3 of some of your favorite artists and research the producers behind their best work. Create a mix similar to the feel of one of these artists using only 5-6 instruments.

2. GET MIC’D UP!

Got a way to record at home? Get mic’d up and test your sound. Find the best places in your space to record your vocals. Listen back to your vocals and how they sound. Are you too close to the mic or not close enough? The best way to get comfortable with tech is by working with it.

3. LEARN THE TERMS
