Music Choices

Due to the restrictions of copyright law, we were planning of recording a cover of a song. However, due to the complexity of it, we instead decided to look for something free to use. The song we intended to cover just happened to also be free to copy, distribute, transmit and adapt under creative commons, so seemed ideal.
Both the guitar and bass lines of ‘Angels’ by the XX would have been recorded through a Yamaha THR10 amplifier/interface into Cubase 6LE. The dreamy feel would have been created either through use of an in-program plugin or a Boss Me-20B effects pedal and the drums would have been recorded in the step editor, also with appropriate effects added.
 
As we are going to be using it for non commercial uses, we are free to use it under the conditions that we reference the artist, as well as providing a link to the creative commons page with the finished upload on Vimeo

Audio from a wedding  video on Youtube was also added, as it relates the the content of our production and helps create meaning.                                    

Add information about extracting audio through Realplayer:















Adam then recorded the soundtrack as previously planned. However,it wasn't possible to use the effects pedal he intended to use, as the interface only accepts a mono signal. For this reason, he instead recorded a clean signal for the bass parts and used a plugin just for the guitar parts, with the addition of a 'hall' effect on the actual amplifier.
