Today me and Cameron decided we were going to begin figuring out what we were going to play for our product. For "Clocks" we walked through and came up with some great beats to use on the synth. The synth, however, decided to give us trouble today. At random times, the synth would make a random screeching noise or just not play the note at all. This interfered with us as we were trying to get some descent recordings. We did manage to get a good bass beat for today, which is a good start. We are going to try to figure out why the synth is doing this (it is old) but Cameron will talk to his piano teacher and we can try to get some recordings in on the weekend when hopefully the synth will cooperate. Otherwise we messed around on the synth and found some cool sounds that we liked, and I am becoming more familiar with Garageband and am getting better at using it. (While I'm talking about Garageband might as well throw out a RIP to Steve Jobs who passed away today). So far, though, I am pleased with how me and Cameron are coming along, and we will work on figuring out the synthesizer more so we can get more of a quality recording in.

Other students have found the same thing: they have a great idea, but are now beginning to understand that the process takes longer than expected. Keep working :)
