I like to make music, mostly hip-hop music. I am a member of the local rap group “365 Krue” alongside my friend Juan Quintero (a.k.a. Jayy). My duties in the crew include rapping and also producing (composing instrumental and mastering vocals) the projects of our crew. At the moment I make all of our music on the apple software, Garageband, which is part of iLife (software that comes with every Mac purchased). I feel that I have conquered all aspects of the software and feel that it is time to step up to the next level. I need to take the music I’m making to another level. That is why I have decided to take advantage of the resources that this class provides and take on the professional music software “Logic Studio.” I believe that if I am able to learn how to use Logic it will not only elevate my potential as a musician but also elevate the performance of the musicians I may collaborate with. If the time given allows I hope to eventually begin making my own beats using Logic and set myself up with a good arsenal of instrumentals that I may utilize for an album in the future.
Great goals, Armando. Got Logic? Or do we need to get a trial copy somehow? Your next step will be a production timeline and choosing a Monday before the end of the month for a preliminary critique in class. I can't wait to hear your music. Maybe bring a demo to the next lab?
ReplyDeleteI do not have it, I was hoping that it would be provided. We are going to have to get the trial copy or buy the whole studio. it is $400 dollars in the SOU book store, the express version is much cheaper but does not include all the tools and features that the full on studio features. I will begin building the timeline if Logic is provided, otherwise i might have to reconsider my gameplan or maybe even my entire project.
