After multiple attempts, I decided to make a track consisted with electronic dance beats and multiple orchestral instruments (mainly strings), I would probably define this track as a fast tempo upbeat electronic dance music. The structure of the song is ABA in which section B has a different string loop on top of the bass. I added different basses on A and A1 to differentiate the section. To be more innovative, I added the Chinese instrument Erhu to create more contrast to the piece. Further, I used EQ function to get rid of the higher frequency noise from the baseline.

This tracked was recorded in a small room located in Seymour centre. We have a saxophone and a condenser microphone set up for the recording. At first we were trying to place the microphone in different positions in order to collect the best sound (one guy in our group monitoring the sound via a plugged in headphone). Considering of the room size, the sound bounds off the wall and form a natural reverb. However, the soundproof quality in the room was mediocre that we can hear some noise from the outside. 
We recorded 13 takes in total with 3 takes on the performer doing the whole piece and the rest were separate parts from the piece. I used one of the full recordings and edit the separate parts into it to cover the mistakes performer made during recording.
