Project Development Issues

One of the first issues that came to mind regarding the capstone is studio availability once the songs are ready to be recorded. The school only has one sound recording studio and during some weeks, can be pretty booked. This issue is correlated with time management and requires proper planning to ensure deadlines are met and the workflow of the project does not get behind. Another time management issue is dedicating enough time to the capstone in general, especially during the mixing and editing stage, as well as not letting other obligations and responsibilities, such as work control my schedule.
For this project, I will need to brush up on my recording and mixing skills. It has been since last semester that I have recorded in the studio and then mixed the content for an assignment.
My main resource will definitely be ProTools or Logic. This is where I will mix the recordings until they sound perfect. My secondary resource is the studio, where I will record the content. Another noteworthy resource is the technology services where I will be able to check out recording equipment that I do not own, such as microphones. As far as people that will be resourceful, my friend Taylor is very knowledgable with Protools, recording and mixing so I have a feeling I will definitely consult his opinion throughout the process. My primary and secondary mentors are also going to prove to be major resources as well.
Luckily I think my budget for the project will be fairly low since there is little I will have to purchase. Most of the tools I need are available to me for free. Producing the short album (printing the cover and making the cds) seems like the only money I might spend, although I'm sure other costs are sure to come up.
Some issues I foresee involve my mentors vision and my vision of the music. There may be a disagreement on what is best for the song(s) or what sounds good. Obviously taking their advice will be in my best interest, however if I strongly disagree I'm going to have to consider the risk of doing something my own way. Another issue as mentioned is making sure to reserve the recording studio in advance to avoid setbacks. Other classes could also get in the way of staying on schedule. Of course, there are always software issues that may come up when editing or recording.
