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.
Here are four tips we found in marking your EDM assignments:
Mr. P and Ms. L
1) The
bass ALWAYS and FOREVER will play the NAME of the chord you are playing on beat
1. If you are playing Eb minor, the
bass plays Eb, if you are playing Gb minor, the bass plays Eb… if you don’t
believe us, ask Mr. Butash, he is a professional bass player with the Toronto
Band THE SAINT ROYALS. If you know what
you are doing you can use inversions, then the rule is similar to number 2 with
melodies.
2) Your
melody will play notes the BELONG to the chords you are playing. If you are playing Eb minor, your melody will
play notes in that chord at that time.
Passing tones can be used if you really know what you are doing.
3) If you
are composing in AB or ABA form, B always should be different from A, never an
exact repeat of A. Make a change in your
music in the middle.
4) Pay
attention to when instruments come in.
Ask a dancer, humans like 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8!
