This mind map shows where my skill level is after the first and second term.

I feel like my composition skills were the best along with my musical theory knowledge, punctuality, and my knowledge of studio equipment. My songwriting skills were average I struggle with writing lyrics but the backing track was decent. My mixing and editing on this track was very mediocre, the drums were un even and some instruments were inaudible, I also didn't use any auto tune on the vocals because of a lack of time. I had previous experience in composing by using my own DAW interface at home practicing different techniques along side composing. My knowledge of music theory helps a lot with composing.  

 

  Contrasting this, my deadlines for completing tasks was poor. This was due to my lack of research and working at home. I would like to begin doing research at home and completing tasks on time.

  • My research skills were developed to a further extent in task one by researching into studio equipment.

  • I developed a knowledge of studio equipment 

  • I learnt how to fix and master 

  • my problem solving skills were improved by fixing the Metallica song

  • I learnt how to mi up instruments and record them in the studio

  • I improved my evaluating skills by evaluating my previous projects.

EVALUATION

In this task, I was able to see where y skill level is at. This was useful because it helped me to be able to see what I need to improve on for my FMP to get the best results. I now also know where my strong points are so that I can use them for future projects. Also, now that I know my weaknesses I can strategically collaborate with someone who is more able to complete tasks where im lacking, for example in the category of mixing.
