Me & My Song SE1 Episode 11
“Mixdown Month”
PART 1:
Come along this week on “Me and My Song” as the recording of this Season’s album is finally getting wrapped up! On this PART 1 / week 1 of “Mixdown Month”, join Jessica and some of the other familiar faces from the season, as you get walked through some of the final processes that go in to putting an album together. You’ll get to learn some of the teensy, tiny, little details that go in to editing and mixing down music. You’ll also get to learn that Jessica has trust issues and doesn’t really know what’s going on. And while that may not be surprising, you MAY be surprised to know that this installment only has an ALMOST happy ending. But enjoy it anyway!
PART 2:
Hey we’re just hangin’ out here, editing and mixing and mastering some music during Mixdown Month on “Me and My Song”. Come take a look at what kind of crazy stuff happens when you spend hours working on your music projects …. (Like going kind of crazy, for example).
This week, for PART 2 of “Mixdown Month”, Jessica Leia works hard with an engineer on editing and mixing down a song. You will learn about how all the pop stars fix their sour notes with software, how it’s best to have more than one brain working on a project at once and how important banana time is. (Almost as important as having a banana phone). Watch and learn all about the secrets of music production inside of magic software, as Jessica discovers that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be and she also tries to figure out (as per usual), what the heck is going on!
PART 3:
Hey we’re just hangin’ out here, editing and mixing and mastering some music during Mixdown Month on “Me and My Song”. It may not be the funnest job in the world, but somebody’s gotta do it! And hey, we’re pretty fun, so if you’re gonna see how this stuff works behind the scenes, you may as well check it out with us! ESPECIALLY since there will be medieval rabbits filleting some poor, Roman guy… (Ok, that doesn’t NORMALLY happen during music editing, but no one here ever claimed to be normal).
PART 4:
Hey we’re just hangin’ out here, editing and mixing and mastering some music during Mixdown Month on “Me and My Song! In this final PART 4 of Mixdown Month, Jessica Leia interviews Steve Savage about the elements of mixing and mastering while she spits on him… But it’s ok, Steve’s cool with it. <shrugging shoulders>

Verse 1
Well I was just sittin’ around. I was just lookin’ for God
Searchin’ for some truth.
I was just prayin’ for Paradise, so it didn’t seem odd
when I found you.
Verse 2
Well, you could call it coincidence, you could say it was luck;
or that you fell out of the blue. But when you consider the circumstance,
I think you’d have to admit that, that isn’t true.
Chorus
Cause I was just lookin’ just lookin’ for a little bit of Heaven –
When along came you.
Verse 3
I’ll bet you didn’t know you’re a miracle.
I’ll bet you weren’t even aware,
that you’re my living proof,
that allows me to testify
to the power of prayer.
And I surely do.
Chorus
‘Cause I was just lookin’, just lookin’ for a little bit of Heaven –
when along came you
Bridge
They say the Lord works in mysterious ways and in all my days, Lordy I’d say
that’s true.
‘Cause I was lookin’ for wings and halos and things like pearly gates I gotta say
I never knew, an angel could look just like you.
Yaba-dabba-doo!
Verse 4
Well I was just sittin’ around. I was just lookin’ for God.
Searchin’ for some truth.
I was just prayin’ for Paradise so it didn’t seem odd
When I found you.
Chorus
