Creating a sound for media product: Recording Session Monday 23rd June 2014

Yesterday's recording session was very productive. We once again used the MacBook Pro with GarrageBand to produce more of the track together with a set of monitoring studio speakers.
In yesterday's session we took care of a few sections of the track. First, we started to work on the buildup for the track, this included various elements and a frequent use of samples. After producing the Buildup we started to think of another sound element we had to include in our sound for media product. Dialog, we had to record some dialog which we could use for our track. As we were producing an electro house track, vocals aren't something that's often featured within tracks from this genre. However in the end we came up with a basic vocal idea. The vocals weren't too wordy and would be looped during the Buildup. After both of us recording the vocals which required a few takes we had the dialog recorded.
The next task were sound effects. Again, sound effects wasn't something that features in an electro house track. So we had to think carefully about recording them. In the end we decided to demonstrate the ability to record sound effects and record something asn an example and see if it can be used for the track. I recorded a sound of trafic lights and with the Voice Plus recording app created 2 versions of the sound using two different effects. However, in the end we decided to not use them for the final track.
The next task for the session is to put effects on the vocals.
