Hi POD BLOG!
UPDATES!
Okay so now there's a new section into my song after consulting Erica last week. My influence came from the section leading into the rap in Taeyang's "Baby I'm So Sorry". Because I really like the way that section is phrased so I pretty much used the same progression and feel.
After I consulted Erica just 2 days back, she said it was okay to leave the bridge as it is and its not completely the same so its okay! *Phew*
So now I still need to go find the right hi-hat sounds and rhythm to drive the song. I need to add more instruments as well because it sounds really empty as of now. *scratches head*
I tried to record acoustic guitar to replace the use of loops yesterday. It didn't go so well because I couldn't play in time. I may consider using some which are in time but I will have to look into it because everything else is in MIDI and so it will be very out of place if it were out of time.
Maybe I will re-do it for final POD. Will look into it again.
As for now, time to find hi-hat rhythm's and sounds and think of more instrumentation!
Spanks.

PODPONE
Sorry I've been negligent on my posting/updating. The past month or so has been really hectic, cover song and other assignments. Now theres even more work to be done!
But for now, I roughly have my POD 1 song idea out. I need to find time to refine my lyrics? I shall consult erica later again. As for the layering, I'm still not to sure how to layer my song to give it dynamics and to keep the listener interested.
Erica did mention about how in R&B songs (thats what my song turned out to be), the kick and snare groove is kept pretty consistent throughout the song which I agree after going through a couple of examples. So the hi-hats are the main significant changes in the rhythm section which signifies change where the song goes though each part like verse to chorus, chorus to bridge, etc.
I'm still trying to figure out how to come up with a suitable rhythm of the hi-hats to match the groove of my song.
The samples that I have are really bad and do not sound good as well.
Hopefully Erica can enlighten me later! >.<
