The aim of this week’s tutorial was to go over the Aim & Objectives alongside the learning outcomes I had developed for my project to check whether these are suitable parameters in which my project can be critically assessed against. After having shown and discussed them with David, it was apparent that there needed to be a few tweaks to how the old Aim and Objectives related to one another*.
From this week on, the Aim & Objectives are as follows;
Aim
Creation of a coherent 4 track EP
Objectives
- Source a range of musicians to collaborate alongside with
- Capture their unique performances
- Mix their performances alongside my own to create cohesive songs
These changes have now replaced the prior Aim and Objectives found in the ‘Project Synopsis’ blog post.
The Learning Outcomes have also been refined;
- Mix vocals better via implementation of industry-standard vocal mixing techniques
- Implement the production approaches of key record producers in my work
- Acquire guitar tone using analogue equipment prior to recording
*Old Aim and Objectives
- Identify & research the recording/production techniques of the key producers that underpin the musical direction of the project
- Identify, collaborate and coordinate with musicians within the industry
- Recognise, understand and incorporate the recording/production techniques of well-established producers
- Collaborate with various musicians that are able to perform key parts within the project’s songs
**Old Learning Objectives
- Mix vocals better via implementation of industry-standard vocal mixing techniques
- Use recording/production approaches of the key producers that inspired the creation of the project’s songs (implementing the production approaches of key record producers in my work)
- Use amp simulator plugins as a tool
Our meeting in week 4 was moved to the following week, so during the following week further research is going to be conducted, expanding on the prior information documented on Nigel Godrich and Anton Newcombe’s production approaches.
