Over the summer, before my junior year, I took my first Audio Production and Recording class.  At the beginning I thought I would just take it to get a basic understanding about how everything works, but I quickly took the class very seriously.

I ended up spending a lot of my free time recording a cover of the song Daylight, by Matt & Kim, because the song made me feel very happy and I really loved the vocals that went along with it.  After recording all of the instrumental pieces in my bedroom I headed to the recording studio to record the vocals.  I then spent even more time to mix and master the song.  It was intense, but I was set on having the song sound very nice and finishing it in timely manner.

I was very content with the finished product.  Doing this made me understand the long process of creating music and making it sound good for the public.  Even though it was a hard process, I wanted to continue in this field because it was something that I enjoyed and had fun doing.
