- Shure SM58-LC Cardioid Dynamic Microphone

- AKG P120 Studio Condenser Recording Microphone]]> 2021-02-01 12:16:21 UTC https://padlet.com/matt1358/wll8d2kbgxdmy5c6/wish/1148311024 matt1358 https://padlet.com/matt1358/wll8d2kbgxdmy5c6/wish/1148322629 I think there are quite a few aspects of a career in music that could be considered a "success" if achieved:

- Money / Fame: This is the obvious one, but it is what a lot of people would define as success. To me, I wouldn't need riches beyond my wildest imagination, only enough to sustain my living and be comfortable. As for fame, I'd like to think the more famous I am the more people could listen to my music, and I would consider that to be a success.

- Knowledge: The Music Industry never stays in one place for too long, so to be "successful" you have to be adaptable and willing to learn new things. I think if you learn something new everyday, you can already consider that to be a success.

- Happiness: A bit of a cliché, but happiness is vital to a successful career (and life). The most successful people prioritise their health and mental wellbeing, so we should all aspire to follow in their footsteps and be the best we can be.]]> 2021-02-01 12:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/matt1358/wll8d2kbgxdmy5c6/wish/1148322629 matt1358 https://padlet.com/matt1358/wll8d2kbgxdmy5c6/wish/1148339879 Academic - I should try my best to learn new things and pass the module.

Musical - I would like tol be more comfortable handling a DAW by the end of this module, and I would like to produce and mix 2 full songs.

Professional - Meet the Formative and Summative deadlines, and network some more to build up my industry contacts.]]> 2021-02-01 12:25:31 UTC https://padlet.com/matt1358/wll8d2kbgxdmy5c6/wish/1148339879 matt1358 https://padlet.com/matt1358/wll8d2kbgxdmy5c6/wish/1148353067 My tracks will probably both come under the "rock" genre, or at least a sub-genre of rock.

At the moment, I'm thinking of doing an original and a cover. I'm not sure yet if the cover will be a direct recreation or I'll put my artistic spin on it.

Knowing me, these 2 tracks will be of completely contrasting styles.

I would work on this solo, with the potential of external help from others on the course (e.g. vocals, drumming etc.)]]> 2021-02-01 12:29:52 UTC https://padlet.com/matt1358/wll8d2kbgxdmy5c6/wish/1148353067 matt1358 https://padlet.com/matt1358/wll8d2kbgxdmy5c6/wish/1176482651 Using SWOT Analysis, I can highlight my strengths whilst pinpointing my weaker areas.]]> 2021-02-08 12:14:58 UTC https://padlet.com/matt1358/wll8d2kbgxdmy5c6/wish/1176482651 matt1358 https://padlet.com/matt1358/wll8d2kbgxdmy5c6/wish/1177539653 A personal practise routine will help refine my skills and improve my musical output.]]> 2021-02-08 15:37:53 UTC https://padlet.com/matt1358/wll8d2kbgxdmy5c6/wish/1177539653 matt1358 https://padlet.com/matt1358/wll8d2kbgxdmy5c6/wish/1203555112 2021-02-15 12:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/matt1358/wll8d2kbgxdmy5c6/wish/1203555112
