Final Notes

This morning I was up and at 'em pretty early.

I hopped onto my computer and finished composing the musical accompaniment for the Valentine's song I'm writing for mt boyfriend. I'm pretty pleased with it. It's not quite as long as lasy years's (that one came in at a whopping 5 minutes and change) but I don't think he'll mind. Now for the lyrics!

When composing a song in this way, I have found that it's easiest to work out a tune that I like, get it into my head and then put words to it that way. I also do it in this order because the Sony Super Duper Music Looper has places quite a number of constraints on the composer. You only have a certain amount of sounds and loops to choose from - so you really have to work with what you're given. This may prove incredibly frustrating to one who actually knows what their doing, however for those of us who are still feeling out theur composition skills, it works just perfectly.

I put together a few arrangements before deciding on a final cut and exporting it as a .wav file into itunes. I burned the track onto a CD and then transported it over to GarageBand where I will attempt to record my vocal track.

Ack! I'm so nervous! I want this song to be perfect, and I want it to make my boyfriend cry...just like last year.
