Update 3

We are well into our project in music technology right now and it is going much slower than I thought it would.  I have found several times that I don't really have any ideas for what comes next in the song I created.  When I first began to create this song I didn't really know what I was doing.  Now though I have a much better idea of how to use Logic Pro X.  So, I am hoping to wrap up this piece soon and begin on a new piece.  Hopefully, I will move through my next song at a faster pace.  I hope to get 2-3 songs done by the end of semester.  This song will pretty short, seeing as it is hardly a minute long right now.  However, I think that if I start my next few pieces with more of  a plan in mind I will be able to get through them faster, especially now that I have a better understanding of how to use Logic.

Progress Week 1

We began our project last week and so far I am finding it a bit more difficult than I first thought.  The real problem is that it is really slow to create music.  Even after a little less than two weeks of work, I only have a few seconds.  While I don't have any trouble coming up with new ideas for the song, I do have trouble applying my ideas because I am not familiar with Logic.  I'm sure as I get better and more familiar with Logic things will speed up.  I might need to change my plan though.  It does not look like I will be able to create 3-4 songs so I'm going to lower that number to 2-3 songs.  Hopefully this process will begin to speed up as I learn.
