Audio Project – Meeting 1

Joe and I met with Lee GrettonĀ our tutor for the project. We initially had two ideas in mind for our project and we discussed both of them with Lee.

The first idea was to record a band and create a professionalĀ sound EP for them. They would be considered our client and we would work for them during this project. Lee made it clear that this was little more than a level 2 project and asked how we would step to a level 3 one. We spoke about the possibilities of turning it from a client based project to a research-based one. This would have worked by us looking into specific aspects of the recording process, researching more about it and then doing it for the band. This would mean that the band would probably not get the material they were after and this posed some concern.

The second idea was to create a compilation CD of college bands for the college to use as promotion and marketing. Our idea was to bring the bands to the university to record them, mix and master the project then print CDs. We would have the college as our client and we would work for them during this. Lee was more positive about this idea and discussed with us ways to advance this project. We spoke about contacting the college to set up a meeting.

After the meeting, Joe and I decided that the college project would be more beneficial as it would give us real world business experience. The band project would have been good but we feel not being able to produce a full EP would cause bands to be discouraged.
