Grade 11 Midi Students:
Top 10 suggestions from Reason 3 and Reason 4
1. Fill in the complete box on reflections and marking guides, state the WHAT and the WHY.
2. Don't put much or any Echo (Delay) and Reverb on drum tracks as it puts them out of time.
3. Delay and Echo are usually used in tandem with each other.
4. Don't click the LOOP button if you already have a good ending.
5. Write endings for your pieces, they are more musical than infinite loops.
6. Don't set your Master output too high, but also don't set it too low. Pay attention to the colour of the level (in the yellow) and listen on the Midi lab speakers or good over ear headphones.
7. Know the difference between adding a MASTERING effect and adding an individual effect to an instrument, both have difference purposes.
8. The overall learning of Reason 4 is that mixing and mastering ALWAYS includes automation and the use of effects, especially Reverb and Echo.
9. You may not know if your music sounds right. Play it for a supportive friend, play it for the teachers before submitting. Stick to the tried and true song structures and forms you learned in Grade 10.
10. Read the instructions carefully, missed steps are lost marks.
