A composition is formed! (and Logic really does suck)
Carla and I have made some process on the composition!! At last, it seemed that the logic interface really held us back where we were trying to solve problems for hours. Incredibly frustrating! I was VERY pleased when we pulled everything into ProTools. WOHOO! I will make the observation that the logic visual interface was better to compose rhythm to, and we have spent the last few days dragging our location sounds into logic and chopping them up and placing them to create a beat, it sounds quite interesting (if not abit cheesy) We have had to place a rather destructive high pass filter on the samples because of the ambient noise, we could get rid of the noise using Sparks TC Denoise, which I intend to investigate. We bounced the rhythm and pulled it into a ProTools session (HURRAH!) and pulled in all the sounds we've been working on and put it together. I had made a really long sample, containing a rather sinister sounding low frequency rumble, we felt it set the scene rather well and glued the rest together. I have also given the vocal line to a musician friend and she transcribed the vocals and suggested a few chords that would work well. The result was really cheesy, I am really interested in using the MIDI instruments to play around with these chords but I haven't used it for years and can't seem to get it to work. We intend to rerecord the vocals so they fall on a beat (therefore changing the timings of the dance) and we worked on this today. We will rerecord so the notes are on tone aswell in order to place chords and a bass line on the composition. I am to create a good bass sound by manipulating our samples for tomorrow in soundhack or spear. We have also discussed the video a few times and intend to film after have have our composition completed. I am not sure of this arrangement having researched visual and sound in my undergrad, may suggest we start thinking about locations and ideas in some sort of order before we complete the song. However it will be a pop song and I suppose the video is always made after the song is.
