Monday 9/21
Did the usual getting-started stuff: quick review of greensheet, web site sign ups, etc. Then... studio configuration problems ensued - so we did not get started on Garage Band... Tuesday 9/22
Technical problems with studio! Did not do: Basic Reason intro: the rack, the empty rack, adding the mixer and Subtractor via the Create menu or selecting from preset Subtractor sounds and the concept of editing the Subractor (but only in the most cursory way). Did not play the Subtractor from the keyboard. Wednesday 19/23
introduced Garage Band: adding regions, looping - showed pan/volume and master volume, edit/solo, etc. Did a quick intro to using keyboard to control sounds. Did not do: track edit screens, quantize, pitch correction, etc. Still need to look at adding effects to software synth tracks. Make the Garage Band project assignment and announce due date one week from today. (Some class time will be available next week to work on this.) Thursday 4/9
Introduced some Subtractor basics - up through oscillator. Probably need to back up and do redrum...
OLD: Introduced Redrum basics. Work time on the Redrum module. Need to go over adding a second redrum, working with the pattern lane, recording Redrum directly into a track. Introduced the Redrum assignment. Friday 4/10
Same a MW class but finished the GB intro. Announced first assignment and deadline.
