Studio Sesh!

Hey all :)

Been a long time since iv given an update so im gonna go Jackie Chan on this blogging malarchy :)

After a couple of successful practices from the all girl band 'Adams Demise' we decided to hit the recording studio for a couple of weeks to record a cover of Paramores 'Crushcrushcrush' to use on our new Facebook page as an example of what we will be working on over the course of the next couple of months. We all worked really hard as a team to help each other out and also help the sound engineers out as best we could to make the record sound the best that we all could manage. When we were in the studio as a group, we had to cooperate with not only each other, but the sound engineers as well, however in the world of music it is commonly known that musicians and sound engineers do not normally cooperate as well as they should. However i feel that as a band working with sound engineers we didn't really know, we did a great job of being patient with both the engineers and fellow band mates, working together to improve on our own and each others performances, supporting each other when we got stressed or frustrated and gave criticism in a respectful manner, this all demonstrates teamwork and cooperation which are both important requirements of becoming a performing artist/ session musician. We also displayed self-confidence and awareness because we were all constantly making comments on how the track was being recorded and if we wanted something done in a different way as well as giving each other constructive criticism which not only builds our confidence in each other, it also builds trust between the group and I felt that by getting everyones opinion I was able to identify where my performance weaknesses were and plan on improvements when i practiced. All in all i loved the experience of being in the studio and thought it was a great advantage having the luxury of being able to practice working in the college studios in preparation for when I become a performing artist/ session musician.

Until next time....
