Making of "What What What" (小粉臉)

I forget stuff that I learned before unless I keep using those skills once in a while. Music keyboard is one of those things, and so is digital music editing. So when my brain suddenly had a stupid tune came out of nowhere, I decided to capture it in a little audio project. Besides, I need an excuse to set up my home audio studio after I rearranged everything for the sake of my new TV.

So I took 30 minutes to set everything up. In fact, my that I have everything up, I can pretty much jump into making a 30 seconds song anytime I want. This is very important to me as I am extremely impulsive. If I need 30 minutes to set things up in order to capture my creativity, but the time I have everything ready to go, I may have loss my incentive to work on it.

The whole process took me about 2.5 hours. The recording and synthesizer are all done within Sonar 8 Producer Edition. The ultra lousy keyboard was done using my ancient 4 octave keyboard they I brought almost 15 years ago. The drum part was done using my V-Drum Lite.

The idea of the song came from ... nowhere. It just popped up in my brain. Maybe I intrinsically hate those plastic sweet sentiment. Plus, irony is always a great way to generate humor.
