I have been having fun doing some recording and mixing! I am very inexperienced and am just trying it out and seeing where I decide to go with it.
Here are some samples of what I have been working on so far. I am sharing them via soundcloud because that is the simplest way I could figure out to do it. Click the links to hear the tracks!
The first masterpiece (not really, lol) is titled, "Huh? Oh!" It is based on a silly chant my sister and I came up with years ago to go along with a silly made up rap. This is a family "rap" (not sure what else to call it, lol).
1. "Huh? Oh!"
https://soundcloud.com/melanie-shumway-addington/huh-oh
Performers:
Erica Waltz (my Sister) = "Huh? Oh!"
Me = "What? I said, what?"/ Talking at the end
Suzanne Havens (my Mom) = "Hey, Come On!"
Eric (My 6 year old son) = Humming / "What? I said what?" later on in the song
The recording could have gone better, and this is my first attempt at mixing, so I am sure it could be improved. Unfortunately I made a few mistakes that I would have to go back and re-record to fix, which is difficult because we all live in 3 different states! Also, I am new to Garageband and not everything worked out exactly how I wanted.
But, I still think it's fun!!!
2. Blues Flute - Sample

This next recording is a sample of a mix I am working on in Garageband. It is not yet finished. It is all me on my flute, along with a drum loop from the Garageband loop library. I will eventually come up with a more original title, haha. I hope you enjoy it!
3. Women of Ireland - Sample
https://soundcloud.com/melanie-shumway-addington/women-of-ireland-sample
This is again all me on the flute. I am using the James Galway arrangement of this Irish classic, and adapting it for flutes alone (for now. I may change my mind later on). It is just a sample. I love this piece, it is such a gorgeous melody.
I just wanted to give you all an idea of what I am up to! There is more to come :-)
