Week 12

Goal at start 3/17:
Use a reference song for kick drum placement and tempo. Get two extra practice sessions in before Friday.

End notes 3/20
I managed to get the extra practice sessions in for the first time. By Wednesday I had two different project files and was able to pick the one I wanted to follow through on (the first one had a better tempo and kick drum pattern which I used a reference for, but the other one I felt like I could finish faster).
Working on this song was kind of a blur and mostly consisted of me learning that oscillator sync exists and playing with that feature. I was also left with a sense that I really need to practice making melodies. I might need some kind of new paradigm or strategy there into order to make progress, though the answer is probably just more practice.

Action plan for next week:
Stay focused on the task of getting additional practice sessions in.


Great vibe, pensive and ominous. All elements are nice and contribute well, main lead is really great, and the little counter melody fits well. Switch to treated piano layer is a good contrast. Great track!
