Preparing Your Final Project for Playback
I am providing an outline of steps to take to make sure that we can play back your final project at your final exam schedule. If you don't understand all of these stops just yet, don't worry - I will go over them during the Wednesday Intro class. (They also apply to Intermediate class projects.)
Keep copies of your work
As you work on your project keep original copies of your project and all support files (e.g. - samples, etc.) in your folder on your computer.
At the end of each work session - after you quit Logic and/or Reason - be sure to copy your folder to the server so that you have a backup there.
(Do not save directly to the server from inside the Logic or Reason applications - save on your computer first, quit the programs, and then manually move your backup files to the server.)
Optional: Copy your folder to a memory stick or other backup medium that you can take with you.
Save your project as a 'project' file
From now on, save your work as a "project." Saving as a project creates a folder containing your piece and all support files needed to play it back on any computer. Choose "Save as project..." from the File menu.
Bounce to mp3
Also on the File menu in Logic you will find a "Bounce..." command. Use this to create a mp3 audio version of your project that a) you can take with you at the end of the term and b) we can play back at the project playback session.
Click on a blank area of the main Arrange window so that no regions are selecting and then choose "Bounce." Make sure that mp3 is checked, and then save the mp3 file in your folder on your computer. (It will be moved to the server when you make your backup as described above.)
(Note for Intermediate students: When Logic and Reason are working in Rewire mode, your Reason tracks will also be bounced automatically.)
