Reflection 22/3/2021

Having finished my Genre Spotlight project, as well as having done other projects, I have developed many skills. For example in my genre spotlight project, I have developed my vocal/performance skills, having recorded my voice, both on the House project, as well as on Ailuros, my symphonic metal project. For all the projects in genre spotlight, I also developed my keyboard skills, especially for Ailuros, having had to learn new chords for the left hand.

I have also greatly improved my sequencing skills throughout the year, for example, in the Big Break Project, where I learned to genre mix and also to make my compositions less chaotic, when making a Sympho-Industrial Thrash Metal project called Bloodrive. I also have developed my evaluation skills and my writing skills throughout the year in my blogs.

I have greatly improved my mixing skills, when recording Luffmann's metal band, on the BBP and have greatly improved my equalisation skills, when mixing the bands, and my projects. I have also further developed my understanding of compression, and have also understood not to use too much effects. I also learned to use a new DAW - Bandlab, during lockdown. In the BBP I have also developed my team working skills, whilst working with other people, for example, during the composition of Bloodrive.
