Review of Recording Session for Hasif's track

I have reviewed the recordings for yesterday's recording session. Initial problems occured when opening the Garageband software. It says that it cannot open some of the recordings in the software.

However, I did managed to salvage some of the vocal recordings through my thumbdrive.

After reviewing it, I realized that I have to re-record certain parts of the recording where the words are not pronounces properly. I'll contact the singer again on Monday to re-record parts of it.

In the meantime, I'm preparing layouts for the packaging and also making do with the vocals that I have and try mixing is in the instrumental track and making presets for it.

For you information, I am working with Garageband and Adobe Audition for EQ-ing and mixing. I will be using Reason's Mastering Suite together with my other team mates to do a final mixdown of our tracks, hopefully by next Friday. I have made a default template for that purpose.
