We will be using Soundation to create unique, and customized pieces of music. You must follow the directions below, and export your music as a .WAV-File so you can use it in an upcoming project. Please follow the directions below to begin creating music with Soundation.com. If you have already used this program, it is your obligation in class to help others. We will discuss the Essential Questions below in class prior to working on Soundation.com. HAVE FUN WITH THIS PROJECT!
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS
YOU MAY ONLY USE SOUNDATION. YOU MAY NOT LISTEN TO MP3's OR OTHER COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE MUSIC.
Today is your day to familiarize yourself with how the program works, and how to navigate around the different toolboxes. Save anything that you want to keep by uploading files to your Google Drive or save them to your desktop. Because other students use these computers, there is no guarantee that your work will be here tomorrow.
SOUNDATION.COM INTRODUCTION: Open the Soundation.com Application. I have included a short VIDEO from YouTube to help you work independently. Once I have finished the demonstration in class, use your headphones to listen to your work while you create a personal track. Try to create a track that is 20-25 seconds and includes any of the instruments listed in the Loop Browser. You will be using the final cut of this track you are creating as the background for the Marquise Project in Microsoft Movie Maker later in the Marking Period. Make sure it sounds like you want it too. When you are done look under the FILE section to Export Song To Disk as a WAV File and save it. You must upload your file to your GOOGLE DRIVE and SHARE it with MR. S for credit. Please upload the file to the DROPBOX Link below as well:
When you have finished the project, use the GRADING RUBRIC below to figure out your score on this project. Additional learning should include working on completing the Music Lyric Project listed below, or use SOUNDATION.COM (Link Below) to create another unique song and EXPORT it as a .wav file for use later. Have Fun With This Project!
