Second Performance

For this track I took the lyrics from the song "Young Daughter" and transposed it down by 6 to give it a slower and deeper voice. I then had to find the tempo because the audio file didn't match the tempo in Ableton. So I counted the tempo of the original song which is 151 bpm. I then made the track 151 bpm and then ha to match the tempo in Ableton to the track tempo which ended up being 120 bpm, however I could never find the tempo so I was just moving up and down the tempo to make it match the audio track.

Seb:
I like that the vocals sound muffled as it gives the song a more chilled out vibe, also I like the syncopated guitar as it gives the feel that the song is moving like a wave, to improve I would make the kick drum and the bass more punchy.

Lizzie:
I Like the guitar it reminds me of James bay. The static sound works well with the song. I like the way the  kick and the tambourin comes in. it creates a nice contrast. I think that it would be good if you maybe add more loops to your mix and also you could cut in and out of different instruments like have the vocals Acapella at some point then bring loop by loop back in.

I will use this feedback to continue my track. I will use all positives to improve the track as well as my own ideas. I intent to add a higher pitch voice over the top of the regular one. I hope to add the chopped vocals  of the vocals in with more vocals to create my over verses.

Pre-Live Performance

For my performance I had performed what I had practiced what I had created from my ideas and feedback. This performance I thought went well as it all went to plan apart from the fact that everything wasn't balanced properly so quiet parts of the vocals were loud and made the song sound off because the vocals were meant to be quiet. This is an easy fix as all I need to do is take the track and balance everything, and then save the track with the corrections.

3 Jobs within

Backline Technician: A Backline Technician can be a person or a group of people that provides technical support to live performances. Depending on the on what type of event they a needed in they can do a plethora of tasks to assist the performers, i.e sort out percussion or restring stringed instruments. Usually Backline Technicians are specialised in specific instruments for performances. So you could have a range of people on stand by for if an incident occurs with something like a synth stops working, or a guitar string breaks. As an example you would have a backline technician specialised in drums for that performance, so they would build the drum kit for the drum player, and keep strong communication with the drummer as if something happens to the drums, the drummer needs to tell the backline technician to he can fix it straight away. This can occur during a performance to the backline technician needs to be always ready to fix anything that goes wrong during the per...

Performance Three

For this I've used the same introduction however changed a lot with the chorus. I've made a more "Full" sounding chorus by making more percussion at the beginning of the chorus. Ive also implemented my idea of layering the vocals and increasing the pitch by +12. I still have introduce a middle verse which took a while to match as the tempo and timing was completely off, because I reloaded it in to Ableton again and had to match it up again with the tempo. After this I managed to have it match perfectly and synced some shakers and tambourines to it. I plan to just have this go straight back into the chorus. Feedback: Seb: I like how you have structured your song as it has clear progression, I also like layered vocals as the high octave sound like an eco of the lower octave, to improve I would make the kick drum more punchy. Lizzie: I like the vocals and how you have transposed the vocals. I also like the harmonising on the vocals where you have mixed high and...
