   • This week we created a team of four and were tasked with creating a song. We had to collaborate and plan out the sound mostly by ourselves. At first we used trello to communicate then we moved to sound-trap. We also had a zoom meeting where we filled out the team feedback form and talked about who was going to do what. I was in charge of the bass. After the melody was finished I experimented with playing along on the base guitar. I created a simple baseline out of the f g and a notes. I had some technical difficulties with recording my amp so I had to create the baseline inside of sound-trap. I was able to make it slightly more complex there. The biggest challenge for me was keeping in rhythm with the melody because it has an irregular beat.
