Drum and Bass


On Wednesday evening we started recording the mixes of our regular DJs: Fraiser, Simon, Sam plus Paul the Youth Worker. We ended up with a 40 minute mix of them each playing a short set. Recorded to Logic Pro then remastered onto CD. We are looking to expand the skills of this group by utilising Logic to match the beats and gradually create our own tunes by dragging in loops and also using software and hardware synths to allow more individual expression, rather than it sounding like a demo for Apple Loops!
We are looking to release this first recording as a podcast, and once compositions are up to standard, get some vinyls pressed.
Exciting times!
This weekend we are running a music technology workshop (providing I can find a band who are looking for a free recording), and in the evening there is a young band who are doing a recording courtesy of one of the dads who are paying as one of them is having a birthday! Lucky them.
Late evening may pop down to Belushi's in Brighton where Bill's Motown band are playing at 10.30pm. Well worth a visit...
