I went to work and Lars wanted to re-record one of the songs that we recorded the week before and 3 new songs to add to the "Live Show" youtube video I was editing. We recorded those songs. I started putting the new songs into the video I was putting together when I realized the songs didn't sound cohesive enough so I went back into the program and fix that. Lars also said since I had a mask on people couldn't tell if I was singing or not so I put background vocals in all the songs. I put all the audios back into the video editing system. I'm going to finish editing the video when I go in next week. He also brought to my attention a future project we will be working on. A freestyle rapper tragically passed away and his family wanted to make his raps into songs so we will be creating a chorus and getting in contact with animators to animate the rapper in his music videos.

RDSD Publishing Week #14 (11/22 - 11/30)

Week #14: 11/22 - 11/30 (10 hours 30 minutes)

For my last week of internship work, I sent Sherri and Brian the procedures for using Music Supervisor which is quite a process from adding the artist and album to uploading the music itself to putting in the metadata for each song. Yet, there were some helpful hacks to make the process go much smoother by the end. Then, I went back into Music Supervisor and added more songs in there and updated CODA to show that those songs were added into Music Supervisor. 

Angry Mob Music, LLC Week 14

Week 14 11/23 - 11/24 (7 hours)

RDSD Publishing Week #13 (11/15 - 11/21)

Week #13: 11/15 - 11/21 (10 hours 30 minutes)

My big task for this week was to add some songs to Music Supervisor which is another licensing platform that is a bit more exclusive as every song has to be approved. At first, O had a bit of difficulty working with the website as it is a bit less user friendly than Songtradr. However, after getting in more songs that Sherri's assistant gave me, I started to get the hang of it. I was able to get all the songs into Music Supervisor in 3 days and then I listened to some songs from RDSD's new acquisition and then I wrote up the procedures of how to work Music Supervisor so that when one of them has to put in new music, they know what they need to do. I also updated the pitches from Songtradr on CODA as there were a lot of notifications again this week. The last thing I did was start the document for the VALE Publishing tasks for Spring 2021 which includes how to work with the new SoundExchange feature of adding songs without using a spreadsheet.

RDSD Publishing Week #12 (11/8 - 11/14)

Week #12: 11/8 - 11/14 (7 hours)

This week has been nothing short of a learning curve getting back into the swing of things since getting home. We had our usual one-on-one and team meetings this week which were very helpful thanks to the new Google Doc we have to keep ourselves on track. This week, I started up with Music Supervisor which is slowly coming along at the moment but I will be picking up steam. I was able to upload all the WAV files needed for that and I just have to register them one by one. Having done one already, I quickly realized that I'm really gonna need a way to make the process go a lot quicker. It isn't as user friendly as Songtradr but I will come up with a system to make putting the songs in there much quicker (one song took me 45 minutes more or less). I'm sure our next one-on-one will be very helpful with getting that situated going forward.

Week #11: 11/1 - 11/7 (5 hours)

This week was a shorter week since I had to pack up my room to move off-campus for the rest of the semester. However, I was able to have my usual one-on-one with Sherri to catch up and figure out the game plan for the week. Even though I wasn't at the team meeting due to my performance in the LVC Students in Recital, I was able to give my updates for the week to the team via email. After that, I finished entering Egon songs into Music Fortress and I read some more emails about updates to the CODA software and the Google Doc we would use to show our updates for the week so we could all stay on the same page and keep ourselves on track going forward. 

Circle World Arts (10/25-10/31)

RDSD Publishing Week #10 (10/25 - 10/31)

Week #10: 10/25 - 10/31 (12 hours 30 minutes)

This week, I only had our weekly team meeting but I was able to get a lot done this week. My main tasks this week was to finish up the Egon song tasks I had yet to complete (complete and send lyric docs to Brian and add songs to Music Fortress) and then go through Songtradr and plug in the ISRCs and ISWCs. I was doing this previously but we realized that my method of going about it was taking longer than usual to go through each letter section on Songtradr. However, Sherri was kind enough to provide me a PDF of all of the songs from CODA so that I didn't have to keep two webpages open at the same time which would've taken much more time. I have gotten much more on a roll this week and I am excited to finally get back into the swing of things despite knowing this coming week is the last week we will be on campus.
