Project Details
Lottie Upton has recorded, edited, mixed, and mastered all six projects over nine weeks in 2023. She's chosen three classical pieces and three contemporary pieces to show variety of skills.
Après un rêve
This piece was performed by Elizabeth Juett on cello and John Rickard on piano. Lottie borrowed equipment from her college to record this session. The processing took less than a week as classical music shouldn't be over processed and there wasn't a lot of editing needed.
The slow movement from Schubert Piano Trio in Bb major
This piece was performed by Elizabeth Juett on cello, Jeanette Langford, and John Rickard on piano. Lottie borrowed equipment from college to conduct a recording session. The processing took less than a week as classical music shouldn't be over processed.
Piano Trio Op.80 2nd Movement
This piece was performed by Elizabeth Juett, Jeanette Langford, and John Rickard. Lottie had borrowed a mixing desk, AKG 451s and AKG 414s from college to get good quality recordings. The processing look less than a week as the performers were very talented and didn't need much editing and classical music shouldn't be over processed.
Bigmouth Strikes Again
This piece was performed by Chasing the Magpie. Lottie Upton and Samir Solanki worked in the studio to record the band. Recording took about seven hours over three days. She then worked on the mix for the next couple of weeks and the band is very happy with the final master.
Sparks
This piece was performed by Lottie Upton. She borrowed microphones form college to record all instrumentation to get high quality recordings. The processing took a few weeks and time correction and compiling were needed. contemporary music often requires a lot of processing time.
Gilded Lily
This piece was performed by Lottie Upton. This piece is more electrically based so Lottie used Ableton Live 11 to create and find synths that worked in the song. There was also a bit of live recordings too, she borrowed equipment to record the piano, electric bass and voice. the processing took a couple of weeks as contemporary songs take more time to process.
