My new hobby
So my year's graduation dinner was held the other night, and I had a blast.
What's more though, is that I've discovered a new hobby: audio engineering.
I was assigned to be in charge of the sound system that night, especially that for the band performance we had. And after reading quite a bit into all this mixing stuff and setting it up once for myself, I'm really starting to love it.
I couldn't really do much beyond adjusting levels in the live setup, since I don't really have the hardware for it, but at home I'm starting to apply all these mixing and EQing techniques to the songs I'm recording with Logic Express. I think they've made them sound a lot better.
Moreover, I think this is a really useful addition to my skill set as a musician as not only can I sing and play multiple instruments, I can also record them and make them sound the way I want them to sound.
For the past two weeks I've been recording a cover of the Beatles' song Something. I think it's better than anything I've ever some before. I'm really looking forward to showing it off once I'm done with it.
