L28 Test For John

Audio 4 Final Project

Song: Ryan Thomas and Chad Smith's cover of "Mr. PC"
Spoken word poem: "Stand" by dude whose name I forgot

Recording Engineers: Steve-O Townsend, Lily Chun, Shelley Martinez
Mix Engineer: Lily Chun

Main things I'm proud of:
The poem and the song were not originally done together and consequently did not sound very cohesive. The main thing I did with this piece was cut up the vocal parts and matched it with the beats to make it sound like they were meant to go together, because before it was literally just a guy talking over music.

Stand

Audio 3 Final Project

Song: Our Audio 3 Class' cover of "Purple Rain" by Prince
Vocalist: Wayne
Guitars: Brent Champagne
Bass: Cody
Drums: I think Dez or Morgan, I forget.

Recording Engineers: Audio 3 Class

Mix Engineer: Lily Chun

Main things I'm proud of: Wayne's voice was very deep, so I cut out almost all the low end to make him sound high-pitched like Prince. This was done on an analog console — no ProTools used. The other thing was reverb (obviously).

*ALSO, SOMEONE MISTOOK THIS FOR THE REAL THING (FOR LIKE A SECOND) SO I'M REAL PROUD OF THAT

In retrospect, there were probably other things I could've fixed, but I think it ended up pretty okay.

Purple Rain

This is the unmixed version of Stand. Listen to this one first!

This one has all the stupid, cheesy guitar riffs our instructor did. I chose to cut them out in the mix because, you know, the '90s are over.
