I showed the video with the graphics, but I had to change it. I used music at the event and that's copyrighted so that couldn't happen. Instead I used the tune that has been used a lot for the commercials and it fit well.
The day 1 video underneath the graphics had to go and I had to slide stuff around.
The graphics had to fade out more as well as the song.
I didn't like how the song came in so I moved it further away and then it was good.
* One thing I should remember for next time is to fade in the graphics some longer. As those don't require action.
After I learned setting up and interface and mixer to a laptop! This will be important in future studio's/
I was a bit slow in understanding and quite lost at first, but the supervisor explained it very clear which I won't forget anymore.
Always look at the connections. Look and think! What connection goes into what? That already eliminates possibilities.
I also have to remember this path when working with a mixer, microphone and interface/ soundcard.
* Talking into the microphone is input.
* The voice from microphone to mixer is output
* The Mic output goes into the mixer as input, always look at the ends if it's a male or female.
* Mixer output goes into the interface as input , this is with two quarter inch cables: Left and right, (so red and annother colored cable)
* Interface output goes into the computer as input with a usb cord.
I* nterface output goes into the speaker with a special cable for the speaker as input. Plugging it into the red color makes it the right speaker, any other color is left.
Red cable is always used for right because of the name starting with an R.
The interface has a few volume nobs:
* The main - this controls everything
* The input gain 1 - This controls the microphone input. If it peaks you gotta work together with the mixer. Turn down the input of the interface and turn up the gain on the mixer.
* Headphones - speaks for itself
* Mix - This controls the balance between the music you hear on your laptop or if you hear the mic. The 12 o clock position is equaling both sounds. If you have it on input you only hear the mic, but if you have it on Daw (which stands for the interface) then you only have the music and barely vocals.
Because I wondered earlier about the two inputs below the XLR line- in and insert I also had to hook up the keyboard.
* The line -in is for instruments.
* The insert is for boxes that controls effects.
For an instrument the path counts.
* You play the keyboard, that's input
* The sound that's coming out has to gets transferred to the mixer which is output
* The output goes into the mixer as input with a quarter inch cable. .
* So output goes into the mixer in a new channel on the line in.
Why do we hook stuff up to the mixer and not only an interface?
The mixer is important so we can work with EQ (bass, mid and high notes) and effects.
You can shape the sound immediately before a show or session without changing it in your computer.
Make sure to brighten the instruments or vocals. This can happen with giving it more high end or increase the bass.
When getting more high end don't suck out bass, most of the time you need to add bass.
In my case I had to add high ends and a little bit of bass because my voice is not really bass =P
But when working with a bass guitar you might remove it a bit.
All this preparing is called a soundcheck and is very important when being a producer.
It's actually the same pattern as when you have to mix a track. You start by shaping the sound of drums.
* Kick, snare, toms, hi-hat, cymbals
And then ask in the bass because it carries the rhytm.
After I worked on cutting up phone tracks, deleting the pauses to make it flow better. Was done quickly actually so I tried playing the tunes I learned on our organ years ago which were Davy Jones, Green sleeves and the Turkish March. Couldn't really do it anymore =(
I mentioned earlier today wanting to have lessons in piano and the supervisor though that's a good idea. I also mentioned wanting to learn the violin and he said that I could maybe get a few lessons here. O.O For real? That's so awesome! Would be so cool to try out and if I enjoy it Iwant to continue at home.
Though is it free or do I have to pay xD That I don't know.
This weekend I will work on composing ... still didn't do much on it while it's in the planning for such a long time. >.>
