Prodution Notes : Music is done!

Music is done, Yippy!

That's right, I went from tring to figure out the basic rhythms to a competed song.

I used my trusty old Amiga 2000 to do all of the instrumental parts. I used Sonic Drum Kit to test out the percussion tracks. I then switched over to using OctaMED SoundStudio. I had to split up the drum kits instrument bank into separate sounds. Once the percussion tracks were re-layed, I added the base and chord line. As an added touch, I put in a kettle drum track to give the song an old time Warner Bros spooky music effect that they used in their cartoons.

I then used Audacity, running on the Windows machine, to recorded the music from the Amiga and dubbed in the vocals.

So far, I have gotten good reviews of the result at work. People are humming to it everywhere, it's contagious!

I will be uploading the mod file for OctaMED and the finished mp3 onto AmiNET soon.

I still need to complete the video part of the project but at least I know how much animation I need to squeeze between scenes.

I am also doing the story for the main project and will be posting the chapters when they are completed.
