The Spark
This past semester, I had the pleasure of taking COM 306: Audio Media as an introduction course to Pro Tools and audio. Throughout the semester, we covered audio fundamentals, the basics of Pro Tools, sound for film and radio, mixing, MIDI, and so much more. The final project in the class was to make a voco-centric mix of at least 4 tracks and it had to be 4-10 minutes long.
The inspiration for my project came from the YouTube channel AudioHaze. He has a video series called Forensic Productions where he dives deep into a song and tries to recreate it as accurately as possible in a home studio environment. I fell in love with this series and decided I wanted to do my own recreation of a song that I love to gain a deeper appreciation of what it took to put the song together.
