Play around with ideas for a chord progression and melody and have multiple to choose from.

Choose best few song ideas that I like (potentially talk with friends/other musicians to decipher which ideas could be developed the best)

Come up with ideas for intros, outros, chorus’s snd bridges. (Consider whether they fit will with the original ideas that I came up with)]]> 2023-02-22 10:35:48 UTC https://padlet.com/AaronRoper/hjjllg8c6zrrvzr3/wish/2490952590 Recording AaronRoper https://padlet.com/AaronRoper/hjjllg8c6zrrvzr3/wish/2490953923 With use of midi-keyboard start to program drums. (This will need to be done on midi as I don’t own a drum kit or microphones, as well as the fact that I do not want to session anyone for my solo project)

Program bass (depending on whether I decide to buy a DI interface to plug into my computer so I can record from my really bass or record midi bass will change how I program the bass for my songs)

Program other instrumentation such as guitar synths and piano (if necessary, depends what the song needs)]]> 2023-02-22 10:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/AaronRoper/hjjllg8c6zrrvzr3/wish/2490953923 Producing AaronRoper https://padlet.com/AaronRoper/hjjllg8c6zrrvzr3/wish/2490955301 Once the song is completed in structure I should listen over the song and add effects and more instrumentation if needed to fill out the song and ensure that it sounds good.

EQ all different instruments. Pan instruments for optimal sonic aesthetic.

Once the song is complete I should mix and master the song.]]> 2023-02-22 10:38:36 UTC https://padlet.com/AaronRoper/hjjllg8c6zrrvzr3/wish/2490955301 Luna’s Landing AaronRoper https://padlet.com/AaronRoper/hjjllg8c6zrrvzr3/wish/2499212906 For “Luna’s Landing” band, all come together to rehearse songs.

I will go around writing my songs using own knowledge of music. I will use what I know about music theory and structure aswell as listening to the kinds of songs I want to make for inspiration in writing my songs.

What resources/personnel will I need?
As for resources as of now I will only need to purchase a DI for my bass and guitar as I’m doing everything for my solo EP at home.

Where will these tasks take place?
Writing for my solo EP can be done anywhere, as long as the ideas that I’m coming up with is noted down or recorded.

What potential problems could take place and how would I overcome them?
I could run into many problems with the writing process mainly to do with not being able to come up with ‘good’ ideas. I could overcome this by taking with other musicians/teachers for advice on how to improve them.]]> 2023-03-01 09:56:25 UTC https://padlet.com/AaronRoper/hjjllg8c6zrrvzr3/wish/2499271542 AaronRoper https://padlet.com/AaronRoper/hjjllg8c6zrrvzr3/wish/2499314001 How do I intend to achieve this task?
I will get my recording done via FL-studio with I have on my personal computer at home in which I will use my midi piano, bass and guitar to record the parts for my song.

What resources/personnel will I need?
As for resources I have all the things I need to record an EP in my bedroom at home apart from a DI for my bass and guitar which I intend to purchase very soon so that I can record directly onto the tracks.

Where will these tasks take place?
All recording tasks will take place in my room at home.

What potential problems could I face along the way and how will I overcome them? 
Technological issues may arise not allowing me to record however I believe that with my knowledge on computers I will be able to fix any problems that may come up.

For the mixing and mastering side of creating this EP, my knowledge is very limited. I will need to research online and maybe ask my teachers for pointers on the best methods to complete this task.

What resources/personnel will I need?
For this I will only need FL-studio’s resources to complete this.

Where will these tasks take place?
All tasks will take place in my room at home.

What potential problems could I face along the way and how will I overcome them? 
I could face problems regarding not knowing how to or the best method for mastering the songs.
