SMART Goal

By August 9th I will learn how to produce/mix/create music by myself by practicing with programs I’m not used to like Soundtrap and Logic Pro. By dissecting how the different layers of instruments sound in the music I like, I will have created music in a similar style to *song* to see which sounds and playing styles make it have the feel I like.

August 2nd

I practiced guitar and did a cover of a song from Tonetta. I tried using effects and recording styles to mimic his sound.

August 3rd

I learned a song from Her’s on the guitar.

August 4th
