BACK TO LOGIC

We had planned to record the vocal line today and needed to get our samples back into logic to do so. As usual it never ran smoothly and we had to turn to Jonathan Green for help to find out why we couldn't record. We had to disconnect the wire (in logic) going to the desk and put it into the sequencer instead. Once it was working we recorded the dance three times. All of the triggers were activated with each sequence, even if they weren't in the same order every time. I think every time a move is made, the slight difference in it the next time it's performed, triggers off a different sample first. It all depends which sample gets in there first. The elbows and shoulders are the most common because if you move your elbow it moves the shoulder so it's just chance as to which is activated first. To do the same effectively in real-time, with accuracy, we would have to get rid of probably half the samples again to ensure that only 1 sample will be played with a particular movement. We could do that for the video project also but it doesn't really matter if the samples are slightly different. We are going to choose one of the takes tomorrow and perhaps re-record it with new vocals.
