Minor Project Proposal

I will be working on an original drum and bass electronic track that I
produced/arranged and composed in Ableton Live. The idea is a organic
sounding intro with a acoustic piano that leads into a full orchestral
breakdown/build up. This will build into a epic style chorus which I
have written lyrics to as well, but probably won't be able to record
them this time around. It will be composed of two half-time chorus
(drumstep) and standard drum and bass verses with the kick on the 1
and the 3 1/2 and snares on the 2 and 4.

My timeline is pretty open. I am free after noon all day and evening
Tuesday and Thursday and would love to get into the lab then, as I am
starting to bar tend again on the weekends.

My mixing inspirations for this piece are definitely Netsky's "Come
Alive". Netsky is the drum and bass master and this is one of his most
epic pieces. I also love the production and mixing style of Glitch
Mob, simple and fat sounds with choppy leads and drums, by far one of
the most unique in EDM right now. Both of these producers use Ableton
Live and I have spent excessive amounts of time researching there
methods and setups.

I will be bringing my original audio files from my track "Lifeline"
into Pro Tools and remix and re-arrange them, I am very unfamiliar
with the DAW. I go into this project with nothing holding me back and
I am very excited to work on this at a real console.

I expect to face many problems in my mixing phase especially since I
have never used Pro Tools. I am fairly happy with the composition and
arrangement of "Lifeline" so far, so that will not be much of an
issue. I have a tendency to over do it and add unnecessary layers and
elements. I want to produce a simple hard hitting professional
sounding mix.
