Started at 10:45 and the first thing we jumped into was the supervisor showing how the mixing panel works.
Because! I would guide my co-worker through the practice session. Which means I had to know how to communicate with her, the do's and don'ts of the mixing panel and the volume control.
First the mixing panel has to be turned on of course and that requires two red buttons. The middle one first! Wait a few seconds and the buttom one can be turned on. Then the computer has to be started and you're good to go. The lights should be orange, not red which is obviously a sign of error.
The drums got set up, though tha twas a short process.
After that he started Nuendo and showed how to work with the microphone. In order to make it work the red slide for volume should be at 0 and depending on what instrument the person plays the number corresponding that one should be to the middle. Is the slide up and the microphone, then there will be feedback and that will heard your ears badly. Instead of sliding the microphone things down you can also press the mute button.
No problem, I got it down. My co-worker arrived and I lead her to the studio and started communicating through the microphone. I wasnt nervous or anything, I knew her from three months back and she is a very relaxed woman. I helped her set up the track for her to practice, but got the request to turn up the vocals. At first I didn't know what to do, but eventually I got back to her and put the slide of the mixer up.
During the practice sessions I talked with her during breaks and in the meantime I also worked on the album cover and finished the masking first which was the easy part, but chosing the fonts, colors and position would be tricky. Eventually I had the feeling I got it and also the supervisor thought I did a good job. The only thing I had to change was the rectangle shape. It had to be more a square so I had to cut off a part from the top.
Because of this I had to make the font slightly smaller and put it more to the middle. I can't show you the result now, but when the album is for sale online I will!
I also got an explanation on what Auxileries or AUX in a drumtrack do which is quite important in the process. You have three of them.
Aux 1 = Kick drum in and kick drum out. Making this a stereo and overall sound.
Aux 2 = Snare drum in and out. Same.
Aux 3 = Toms plus hi-hat..
In another break my co-worker and I talked about her projects and harmonies in songs. She got curious and wanted to hear me sing. I showed her and she said she was impressed and had to show the supervisor.
I also showed the dragonborn comes to him and you should have seen the look on his face. He ran upstairs and called his wife to listen too. He was just in disbelief it was me; he didn't know I could sing.
>.> I am starting to believe now I can sing as he is owning a record lable and was praising me. I should stop being so darn shy about it. He suddenly got ideas of me singing back up vocals for a Celtic song from one of his artists and instead of working on an instrumental project with my co-worker he wanted me to sing in it too. He will for sure use my singing now which I still can;t believe. I hoped this would happen, or dreamt a little of it, but never thought I will now. Don't know what plans he exactly has with my voice, but I am really looking forward to it!
My co-worker and I left to get some subway and I met another artist from the studio. Really nice lady and she sings soooo good! You should check the L.A Records youtube page and hear her sing. She is amazing.
The supervisor also wanted me to show me singing to her xD
Anyways I sat at work until 10 pm watching how my co-worker played bass! Longest work day I ever had (Nearly 12 hours) though it didn't feel like work most of the time.
When I got home I found out I won an acapella singing episode, got asked for another Skyrim role and my bard Ange came out in a mod
(Yes, I should be less shy about posting me sing even though I can hear mistakes, so here it is:
So this is a very rewarding day! I'm happy.
