RECORDING WITH JAM BUS!!!

OH MY GOSH, Today was SOOOOOOO COOL because I got to record with Jam bus which is a Professional Recording Company that goes around different schools recording with them. I got to actually RECORD with them I mean like at first I was nervous because I thought that I would mess up and let the team down but luckily I didn't (I think)...We had a few practice rounds and then BOOM the magic was just about to BEGIN!!!

First all the musicians played their instruments for a backing track. After that, it was time to record the vocals, which were me and Ma'asi. I had a few mistakes but that's okay because we could just record it again but the clock was ticking and we needed to be efficient with the time. I sang and sang the verses and chorus' while WILLY WAS VIDEO RECORDING ME!!! It was SOOO FUNNY because I'll block the camera and then he'll try to sneak up and get a glimpse of me. After a while, I didn't really care. I actually called him one of the paparazzi's, but the good ones!!

Anywho, it was time to record the endings, 'MAKE THAT CHANGE' part. Even though it was so short it was quite hard because I had to make sure I said it clearly and I had to make sure it was in the right timing.

Then after morning tea I got to RECORD AGAIN!!!! YAY!! Well only for the song Titanium which was sung by Me, Ma'asi, Raena and Petra.

But after it was all done I actually felt sad because I LOVED THE WHOLE THING!!! I also felt SO PROUD OF MYSELF BECAUSE I ACCOMPLISHED ANOTHER DREAM OF MINE!!! It was a magical moment and I just LOVED IT!!! :) I even got TWO STICKERS FROM THE JAMBUS!!!

Moments like these in life are just so UNFORGETTABLE!!!

Recording!!!!

So today just minutes before the bell was gonna ring for Lunch I was pulled out of class to do some recording for our music teacher Caleb. It was actually my FIRST TIME doing a recording session. It was such a great experience. Me, Willy and Ma'asi had to go into this closet where the school stationary supplies were kept to record because it was very quiet in there and it was a perfect place to record, apparently. Me and Ma'asi sang a few parts then we started to record. We had to wear headphones so that we could hear the music and it was also to make sure that we were singing at the right time and at the right beat. Me and Ma'asi giggled a lot when it started because Willy's voice was so low and I mean like it was very very LOW......

After that we helped Caleb pack up the electronics and then we headed to the Boardroom to help Caleb set up the electronics again for another group that were recording. This time they were a bit older than us. They were recording different Cook Island drum beats. We were suppose to go back to class once we setted up the gear but then we were lucky enough to stay and record with the drummers. We all got different size drums and played with them. After a few recordings it was hometime and Me, Stanley, Willy and William volunteered to stay behind and help Caleb pack up. It took a while but soon we were done. 

It was such a cool way to end the week off and it was also such a great experience recording.

Hopefully I get to record again someday.
