Assignment One

Due Thursday, 1 / 15, at 11:59pm. 

The first assignment is to make a song out of the materials provided. The link to the materials can be found here.

Instructions

For this assignment, we'll be using the Drumloop, Guitar and House clips to create 3 tracks: one MIDI (House) and two audio (Drumloop & Guitar). We'll construct the tracks in the following ways:

House track

Assign Impulse instrument to the MIDI track.

Assign the drum samples from the Drumset folder to slots inside Impulse by dragging files to the virtual pads.

Guitar Track

In case there are problems with initial warping you need to perform the following actions:

Remove leading or trailing silences by either clipping (use clip function from contextual menu) or by setting the Start Marker to the beginning of the song.

Locate the first clear downbeat. Make sure it falls on the beginning of the note.
In case there is a short segment of sound preceding the first transient market, such as a slow attack that we see in the guitar example, double click at the beginning of the note to create Warp Marker there. 

Right-click the transient market to set the first bar 1.1.1 from context menu. 

Right click again and select "Warp from Here".

Drum Track

Try some effects out. Get creative and have fun, but be prepared to explain what you did.

MIDI Map

Use MIDI mapping to trigger each track separately in the session view.
Use a MIDI slider or a MIDI dial to control continuously one of the two effects parameters of your choice on one of the devices.

Putting It Together

Improvise by triggering tracks and controlling the effects. 
Record you result.
Render to audio and save.
Upload to the class Sound Cloud account (remember to mark your name).
Put a comment indicating the different sections in the final recording and special effects or points of interest.
