MPA 408 Lab 02/19/10 Tracking Bass

In our lab today we focused on applying the bass to all the recorded tracks. This was done by going directly in via the Millinia. I found this process rather easing in comparison to the previous sessions. Unfortunately we only completed four of the perspective seven songs due in part to mistakes made in a previous lab. One in which cost us the better half of our lab time last friday. It turns out, that in one of the songs that we decided to build from loops (played by Chris Hansen) contained various points of clipping. As a result we'll have to go back and find a better section to loop from. Another issue that arose today was in the realm of backing up our work. I recently purchased a new hard drive dedicated solely to saving our classwork. However, in trying to back up our sessions, the hard drive proved to be incompatible. Hopefully I can mediate this issue before the next Lab. On Better note I have found that lately I am getting a little more proficient working within the protools setup. I guess like all things, the more you do it the more comfortable you get. Because of the furlough schedule missed one lab; but because we accounted for wiggle room in our production schedule we still maintained our projected pace. All and all I look forward to making next week just as if not more productive then this one.
