Challenge Song: Supertramp “The Logical Song”

The students in my Audio Recording Techniques III (Spring 2019) course at University of Oregon had ten weeks to recreate a recorded song of their choice. They voted on reverse engineering Supertramp’s “The Logical Song” from the band’s 1979 album, Breakfast in America. The goal was to get the song as close as they could to the original recording. They recorded, overdubbed, mixed, mastered, and played parts!, on all elements of the song. I am amazed at their accomplished product. Enjoy!

Challenge Song: Massive Attack “Teardrop”

The students in my Audio Recording Techniques III (Spring 2018) course at University of Oregon had ten weeks to select and recreate a recorded song of their choice. They voted on producing a recreation of Massive Attack’s “Teardrop.” The goal was to get the song as close as they could to the original recording. They recorded (and played parts!), mixed, and mastered all elements of the song in just under ten weeks. I am so proud of my students and what they were able to do. I am posting here to give me (and I hope you!) a smile when one needs it.
