Last week a group of us went up stairs to start our recording project. When we got upstairs Tom told us what we were going to do. Orla, Seb, Claire and Harvey started setting up the microphones and instruments. Me, Rosie and Tom all watched Tom the music dude setting up each drum kit piece. He started by asking Harvey to hit the drums one after another. This way Tom could look at how loud each piece was going to be and that way he can also check the balance of each piece of the equipment. 

After Tom did this Seb, Orla and Harvey all played the songs while we listened and watched Tom controlling the balance. After the guys had played the song they came back in and we listened to the song. As the song was playing Tom was explaining we have to make the musicians feel good because that way they play even better. Tom then started editing the music and lifting the balance and showing us how the equipment worked. As we were doing this a few of us took photos of the equipment. 

At the end Tom said next week we can have a go at editing and also next week we would put the vocals in.
