Final Project
Description
Linking Reason and Logic
Assignment Goals
Create a short sequence in Reason. "Rewire" Reason to Logic so that the Reason sequence is under Logic's control. Record 2 tracks in Logic (using synths, etc.) that synchronize with the existing Logic song. (Or, feel free to begin with tracks in Reason and then add Logic tracks - your choice.)
Format
- Reason sequence must contain a minimum of two different instruments on different tracks.
- Of the two Reason tracks, at least one must include notes that you played on the keyboard. (The other may include patterned sounds, such as those from ReDrum or the Matrix Sequencer controlling another module.)
- Logic sequence must include minimum of two tracks, each with a different INST and synth.
- Total project length of between 30 and 60 seconds.
- (Extra Super Bonus Points for figuring out how to record the audio of your Reason tracks into Logic.)
Because of potential complexity of working with the two programs under Rewire, this is a fairly minimal project. Feel free to create a project with more tracks than the minimum. Also consider applying some of what you create here to your final project.
There are no limitations on what type of music may be used for the project. The piece may be an original composition, an arrangement, a recorded improvisation, etc. Your grade will be affected by factors including following the project format outlined above, the accuracy of your performance (i.e., pitch and rhythm), the appropriateness of the sounds selected, and other musical aspects. While creativity and musicality will count, the primary factor will be the technical quality of your project.
Grading
You will be graded on technical aspects of the assignment. The
assignment will not be graded on its musical merits. This includes
the following:
- Inclusion of all required tracks from both Reason and Logic.
- Basic rhythmic consistency.
- Technical factors including the length of the project.
The musical quality of your piece does not determine your grade.
However, imagination can't hurt! The assignment description is
intentionally vague so that there is room for you to exercise your
imagination. Try to come up with an interesting piece within the
guidelines of this project.
Due Date
Due Date: Tuesday, May 27
A late penalty of 1 letter grade per class session is applied to assignments which are handed in late.
For Intro to Electronic Music: Projects must be saved on your classroom computer before the deadline. You will also need to store a backup copy of your work, using one of the methods we discuss in class.
Your grade will be affected if your project does not follow the
format outlined above. If your project is nowhere close to following the format, I will ask you to re-do it and hand in the "fixed" version when you finish.
If you have questions or problems on the assignment please let me know right away - in class or by email, or telephone at 864-8511.
