Enter the Studio Enter the Studio Hello Everyone, Thanks for watching the video, I hope it was helpful. It was definitely very different presenting to the green dot on top of the computer rather than to real people. As the video is long, you may want to learn about specific topics rather than watching it in its entirety. Use the following timecodes to navigate to specific parts of the video that interest you. Things to consider before starting the course 3:25 Software 5:00 Recording Spaces 13:55 Equipment 17:35 Thoughts for Course Planning - General Ideas 26:15 My course structure 31:40 Collaborative and Culminating Projects 41:45 Technical Concepts 43:15 DAW Prices One thing I also forgot to mention is the price of various DAWs. Really, it comes down to what you want to do. Many people have different opinions on what works and doesn’t work with their own students, and what suits their individual tastes and needs. The competition between companies is stronger than ever. Each will offer different features as well, so sometimes the choice can be difficult. I have tried all of them, yet I don’t know everything about all the functionality of each (even the ones I use the most). As there is competition between companies, many times new features pop up in a software I stopped using. This is where music educators can have great discussions about what works the best, what features work the best and how to maximize the creativity and musicality in their courses. Here are some pricings for various DAWs. Logic Pro $279 (board pricing is often half the price/seat) Garageband Free Studio One (version 3,4,5) There are 3 levels of the software, a completely FREE version, and then the Artist version comes with Acorn Masterkey keyboards or Presonus interfaces. The latest version of the software comes with standard notation (similar to Garageband). Studio One 5 Prime - Free (no time limit) Studio One 5 Artist - $135 Studio One 5 Professional - $540 Cubase Elements - $101 Artist - $304 Pro - $545 Audacity Free Reaper Donation Suggested Ableton Live Intro - $119 Standard - $539 Suite - $899 Reason $510 FL Studio (Fruity Loops) Fruity Edition - $129 Signature Edition - $260 Signature Bundle - $390 Full Version (All Plugins) - $1183 Soundtrap Free Soundtrap for Education - $299/year for 50 Seats (The more seats, it gets cheaper/seat) Bandlab Free Online Resources I mentioned a number of resources in the powerpoint, and as a result of not being at school during the filming, I missed a few things. The Shed Music - Music Technology course https://shedthemusic.com/ This resource is very helpful in getting students making music, it isn’t heavy on traditional theory, and notation comes in later. However, what I have done is similar to this, as it follows a logical progression using the elements of music to generate “units.” “The Shed” builds the course from drums, to bass, then chords, and finally melody. I work the opposite way, making sure students get some standard notation while they learn melodies. Developing harmonies and bass lines come by listening to melodies and figuring out which notes work the best. Another Project After the video was made, I had another idea for a project that could be done by students in a music creation class. Composing soundtracks for escape rooms would be an eXcellent project as students would have to compose based on the short “blurb” introducing the escape room. Escape rooms can also have different themes, thus allowing students to experiment composing different styles. .

  • Perspectives for Music Education in Schools After COVID-19: the Potential of Digital Media
    Min-Ad: Israel Studies in Musicology Online, Vol. 18, 2021 Benno Spieker, Morel Koren – Perspectives for Music Education in Schools after COVID-19: The Potential of Digital Media Perspectives for Music Education in Schools after COVID-19: The Potential of Digital Media BENNO SPIEKER, MOREL KOREN Abstract: Innovations in research fields related to computer music and the advancement of the music industry have also influenced the digital sector for music education. Although many kinds of educational, edutainment, and entertainment music software appeared before the pandemic and are still in use, with the COVID-19 crisis and restrictions, it seems that music education in the primary classes has not systematically and thoroughly benefited from the innovations and advances reported by science and the music industries. However, the current need to teach music online could have an effect on the use of digital media after the pandemic. We present examples from the Netherlands, Romania, and Israel that lead to observations and suggestions about the potential of digital media after COVID-19. Keywords: music education, online music learning, singing, solfege, music literacy, primary education, voice synthesis, artificial intelligence. Introduction More than sixty years after humankind successfully programmed a computer to generate sounds from a digital composition, and almost forty years after the invention of a standard for sharing musical information digitally – MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), and the invention of the Internet, it can be said that digital media brought significant changes in almost all fields of music. Writing, composing, performing, recording, storing, disseminating with or without video are encompassing producing and consuming computerized music and digital media.

    APRIL 201 7 APRIL 2 017 USA $5.99 CANADA $5.99 VOL. THIRTY NUMBER SEVEN One of the important additions to the Mixcraft audio REVISITED engine is its support of VST3 plug-ins. Long supported by Steinberg and others, the VST3 infrastructure puts plug-in makers in the position to create much more flexible tools. VST3 support improves the performance, auto- mation capability, and routing functions of plug-ins. It’s supported by iZotope, Waves, and Softube— among many others, and with many more likely to follow. Moving forward with technology is important for DAW users, and it is great to see Mixcraft supporting this forward-looking standard. The UI has also undergone a revamp, with interface skins based on theme selection. More important, in my experience, is that the interface just seems to work better with the HiDPI display on my Lenovo display. This is important, since a comfortable work environment can help you enjoy the hours that you will spend on your productions. I personally like the default dark interface; it is similar to other software that I use each day, and my eyes are able to Acoustica pick out details against its muted background. Another update to the UI is not a technical feature, but rather Mixcraft 8 an extension to the way that you access audio files. In addition to accessing the files on your drive, you can do filename searches to quickly narrow down your options (critical when The Windows DAW “for the people” you have a large sample library—like the one that comes has grown up..

  • Interview Matthias Juwan
    Studio One inventor Matthias Juwan in conversation Created by Lukas Ruschitzka When I learned about the »new« DAW for the first time at the Musikmesse 2009, I still had no idea what would connect me to this software over the next 10 years. One year later, in the summer of 2010, I had version 1 on the hard drive and star- ted producing my first song with Studio One. Now - almost a decade and hundreds of Studio One projects later - I did not miss the opportunity to ask Matthias Juwan, Studio One mastermind and CTO at Pre- Sonus Software a few questions about the creation and development of Studio One. In doing so, I have incorporated both my own questions and questions that have arisen in the RECORDING.de forum in recent years. I hope you enjoy reading the unabridged interview with Matthias Juwan! Matthias, Studio One will be 10 years old this year! In 2009 everyone was wonde- ring what they needed a new DAW for. Meanwhile, Studio One has become indispensable in the DAW market. What was the trigger for you to program the first prototype of Studio One? Everything started for me a few years earlier. When I released my 16-track freeware sequencer Kristal Audio Engine in 2004, there was a lot of positive feedback from the internet community and the press, and I decided to work on a more professional suc- cessor. The project ran for two years in my spare time in addition to the job as a soft- ware developer at Steinberg under the code name K2.
