This week, I chose what I will do for my free inquiry project. I will be writing, recording, and hopefully releasing my first song. But, before I started the fun stuff, I needed to make some important decisions. Firstly, I need to pick which recording software I will be using. I need software with good recording capabilities, as well as good mixing tools, to make my vocals and anything else I will be recording sound as high quality and professional as possible. I don’t want to spend a bunch of money and go to a recording studio, as I work best at home when it comes to music. Secondly, I need something with a solid MIDI library. This means that I have a vast selection of instrument sounds built into the software that I can use to thicken up my song, without having to record each part by hand. This will also be useful, as I don’t know how to play the drums, so having a vast selection of drum sounds is essential. Lastly, I need the software to be affordable and user-friendly. I have narrowed it down, to either Bandlab, which is a free website that I have used to record demo’s in the past. FL Studio, which I have no experience with but isn’t too expensive, and Logic Pro by Apple. I have decided to go with Logic Pro, just because I have previous experience with it, and it has a 90-day free trial, which is more than enough time to see if it works for me.
