MY Pre Production

My idea: My idea is to recreate the song 'Shape of you' by Ed Sheeran but all with instruments, and no synthesizers or major editing.

Recording techniques: When I recorded my piece I used purely the C1000s microphone as I felt that this microphone picked the sound up best, and also this microphone is purely used for instruments as it has a cardiod polar pattern.

Track details:
Artist: Ed Sheeran
Track name: Shape of you
Track Length: 3:53
Instruments required: Guitar, Drums, Piano, Vocals
Lyrics (main hook): Oh—I—oh—I—oh—I—oh—I
I'm in love with your body

Target audience:

This remix will appeal to a very wide audience as especially younger people like and know this song well, and the demand for popular song remixes is rising a lot.

My song will be played at musical festivals, on the local radio stations and eventually be sold on CD's .
Potentially to sell more.

What I am going to change:
I am going to Use different instruments than in the original as Ed Sheeran used lots of synthesisers and i'm using instruments in mine.

Instruments I will use:
Guitar (acoustic)
Keyboard
Bongo
Any synthesiser bass settings if we have to improve the bass (lower frequency)
