Before submitting your assignment, make sure to check over the following:

Melody
·       All the pre-made melody notes/rhythms are correct?
·       Does your second melody compliment your first?
·       Has your melody been quantized?
·       Is your melody in a range that makes it audible above the chords?

Chords:
·       Both the left and right hand of the chords have been recorded?
·       The chords are in the correct order (Am-F-C-G)?
·       You  have used inversions in the Pre-made or CYO section (or both!)
·       You  have used arpeggios/broken chords  in the Pre-made or CYO section (or both!)
·       Your chords are in an appropriate range (not too high!)

Drum Beat
·       The bass and snare drums are complimenting each other in a repeated pattern?
·       The bass drum is played on beat one and the snare drum is NOT on beat one?
·       The high-hat, ride cymbal, or shaker are playing a consistent repeated pattern (i.e. eighth notes)
·       The drums have been quantized to 1/8, 1/16 or 1/8 triplets
·       YOUR DRUMS ARE AT LEAST SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT BETWEEN SECTION A AND SECTION B

Mixing, Panning, Automation
·       All tracks have been appropriately panned slightly L or R ?
·       The bass drum and bass line are panned to the centre?
·       The solo buttons are all turned off?
·       There are no muted tracks?
·       All tracks are mixed so that they can be heard (i.e. no barely audible tracks!)
·       The melody can be clearly heard.
·       The majority of tracks are mixed to the “yellow” on the volume meters
·       The master volume has been set to the “yellow” on the volume meter.
·       You have chosen an appropriate master effect for the master track?
·       All automation has been done purposefully to create an effect?
·       The metronome has been turned off!

Instrumentation:
·       All instruments chosen compliment each other
·       You have made musical decisions about the instruments you have chosen (i.e. they are not all still on piano)
·       Your drum kit matches the style of music you are trying to achieve.
·       If necessary, the chords or melody have been transposed +/- 12 to avoid clashing sound and to make it easier to hear the melody.

Arrangement:
·       Your song has a minimum of 25 bars (may have more if you added an interlude)
·       Your song ends with a Am chord and the melody also playing an A.
·       You have made an interesting arrangement (not everything playing all the time!)
·       Your intro/outro make an inverted triangle (staggered entries).
