Process
This has been an insane period for me. When the assignments went out, I was in the thick of Box, Window, Door. Nevertheless, I managed to review Vidian's uploads and realized I was screwed because they were all fully remixed tracks which I was not sure I could handle, until I discovered the sample pack! Hooray for the sample pack! I start putting pieces together, finding sounds that suit my fancy. I knew I wanted to write an original song for Vidian so I did not spend much time arranging the samples because I needed to have a lyric/melody first. Then I got laryngytis. I was not able to work for about four or five days. I managed to finish the lyric and write the melody, but I could not finish arranging the track or record the vocals until I recovered (I am still not fully recovered). Yesterday, I was finally able to record the vocals and finish the arrangement. I was up until the wee hours working on the mastering. I was not satisfied by 2:00 am so I just left it for this morning. And now this morning. . . well, I'm still not satisfied, but it's late and I'm honestly not quite sure what to do to make it all sound better.
