Outcome

 

At the end of each production project, I will have a fully mixed track that I can hand back to the customer and the satisfaction that I have helped to bring another song out into the light of day. I deliver a high-quality audio file to each customer for them to promote as they want. Obviously, as I am only providing audio content, I have no exact idea of how each project will move forward, although after talking to all my clients, they all indicated that they would be promoting their work, either by producing an accompanying video or promoting on social media. If any of this comes to light before the end of this module, I will add it to my blog. I take a great deal of pride in my work and my objective for this project was to provide for each client,  a professionally produced audio track that they can use as part of their artist portfolio. I have included here the fully mixed audio versions of all of the songs that I have worked on as part of this module. I Love You, etc., by 5 Guys named Lars Client Feedback "That's absolutely wonderful John..thank you so much. Don`t know what you did but it sounds so good.  Lovely to enjoy your own song without conversely wincing at the awful vocals or playing. It's a first for me. You are an absolute star.  Coventrys finest !! (apart from Bobby Gould obviously). (Chris, Denmark)" Rowan Berry Blues by Red The Dryad Song by Red Client Feedback "I came to the university to record 2 songs. John met me in the lobby and took me down to the studio, where he showed me which equipment we would be using and what I needed to do. I brought a guitar and a drum machine with 2 prepared drum tracks. John recorded one of the tracks to playback for me to listen to while playing the chords to the first song. This track was played to me through headphones while I sang. After this I listened to what had been recorded. The process was then repeated for the second song. We then discussed ideas as to how the songs could be enhanced and I left.  John then laid down an alternative drumbeat plus added bass, lead guitar and even harmonica. A few hours later the first mix of one song was sent to me. The following morning subsequent mixes of both songs were sent to me to see what I thought. Small alterations were made and I received final mixes of each song, which I was very pleased with. While at the studio John made me feel relaxed by explaining what was needed of me and I was impressed by his professionalism." Davesong by Dave Client Feedback "We went into the studio, the control room was quite impressive, however there where various technical issues * getting the recording going, which I honestly don't understand. However, when they were fixed the whole recording took maybe a little over an hour, with multiple takes for vocals, rhythm guitar and lead guitar.  We came in again about a month later to repaeat the same process and agree on mixing. This also gave technical difficulties, which after their resolution the process was quick and professional." * Please note that the "technical difficulties" referred to were not technical difficulties but pre-recording setup checks such as recording balance, microphone checks to ensure the best quality recording possible.  Vomit by The Jay Groovara Band Client Feedback "Sound Engineer John Bradley approached me to record and mix one of our songs called 'Vomit'. We spent a Friday afternoon getting it all done in less than three hours. He set up all the kit mics and we laid down drum tracks (played by Tyler Fitall) and edited together the best takes using Logic. I did all the guitar and vocals with John adding harmonies. He done a superb job of mixing the song. It was a fantastic opportunity and we are very impressed by the results. - Jay Groovara"
