MIDI Week 6

Your Projects are due this week. Please bring a blank CD-R to class and a permanent marker, and preferably a jewel case or sleeve. We will be burning your project to CD in class using Toast Titanium software. We will also be learning more about DP, and preparing for the first hands-on quiz.

Sunday Class: I have been called out of town, but your class will still meet. MIDI Ninja Mike Tristan will lead the class and collect your projects.

MW Class: Monday class is cancelled, SORRY! Your projects will be due on Wednesday.

TTh Class: Your class will meet as scheduled.

MIDI Week 5

This week in MIDI we will be learning some additional features of Digital Performer including the Mixer View and Auto Record.

We will also be discussing the Rhythm Grid and how to produce different grids in DP.

We will take our first look at Toast Titanium, the CD/DVD burning software we will use to burn your projects to CD. You do not need blank CDs this week, but if your project is finished, you could bring them and burn to disc now.

Your Projects are due next week, so I will be giving you some time in class and answering questions.

If you borrowed one of the splitters and forgot to return it, please bring it back! I am missing a few.

MIDI Week 4

This week I will assign your first Project which you will create in Digital Performer using sounds from the Juno D. You will have your choice of 2 projects, and can choose the one you would prefer.

We will be reviewing the skills you will need to complete the project, and learn a few more you will also need.

You should read Chapter 1 in the textbook and complete the chapter review at the end. We will also be reviewing that material in class.

I will post the new materials on my Learning Web page this week.

MIDI Week 3

This week we will be learning some new skills in Digital Performer which will equip you for next week's first major project. Remember to bring in your USB flash drive and headphones (any kind are OK-- I have adapters you can borrow if you need them).

We will continue with the Listening Assignment. Please bring in your song and completed assignment sheet if you haven't already.

We will go over some music fundamentals from this site: MusicTheory.net

We will also start reading in the textbook. Please read chapter 1 and complete the chapter review at the end of the chapter. You will turn in your review answers for a grade.

You can download and print all the materials that I have handed out in class so far from my Learning Web page. Please bookmark it.

See you in class!
