One Band Recap: Day 1 & Day 2


So on Monday night, we started the "One Band Stand" project at Sessions On. The idea for this project is to create a band which performs for one night only, with a series of music production workshops leading up to the performance. The participants are supposed to have very little technical knowledge of Ableton software and music production so that we can start from scratch. Also for an extra challenge, for this particular session of One Band Stand, I would like to incorporate aspects of the theme - "The Paradox of Feminism," (although I am not yet sure how specifically and will have to do some research to support this).

Of the 3 participants who I am training for this project, one of the ladies is actually a musician who has used the program before. She is a young, working mom, who plays cello and sings but she does not feel confident in Ableton. Meanwhile the other two, are theater arts students who have not use the software before, neither do they play any instrument proficiently.

Lectures so far have been:
Day 1 - Ableton interface tour, importing clips, creating audio tracks and scenes. Launching Scenes
Day 2 - Recording vocals, playing midi Instruments, Audio Effects, Sends and Returns
