Team members present: Bob
What was planned
Bob had recently purchased a copy of Cubase 6.5. He wanted to initially use it to explore some new ideas for the intro and outro sections of the 'Children' track.
What was achieved
Because the start of the song was very rhythmical right from the start Bob felt that it would sound more interesting if it gradually got into its rhythm (from a shaky start) almost as though the song was slowly coming to life. Bob also tried fading out the rhythmic guitars at the end of the song (but keeping the low synthesiser notes). The idea was to add a touch of poignancy as the song fades away.
Next Steps
Bob to create and play a rough mix of the amended track to Mike and Lee at our next split studio session to see if they like the intro and outro changes.
