In completing this assignment I have learned that recording can be difficult and a lengthy process.  I chose the song be a facebook poll.  I really enjoyed the lyrics and and expression in the song.  I chose to do almost all vocal and percussive sounds because I didn't want a complex texture. I'm not the best singer especially since I'm not healthy right now, so some of the vocals are rough.  I recorded the lead vocals with a very nice microphone and the rest of the vocals with a apple headphone set.  This experience has made me aware to how impressive simple videos like this are.  I have learned that tuning is very difficult.  Tuning individually is a lot harder than tuning within a group.  Also balancing the different volumes to fix the balance is another difficult task.  Lining every track up to the exact same tempo was a very difficult task.  When recording it is almost required that you be in an isolated area with no chance of background noise.
