Introduction to MIDI and Computer Music: Assignment 4 Checklist

Assignment 4 Checklist

The Digital Performer project you turn in must conform to these requirements.

Your project must incorporate one of the sound files I provided, but you can supplement this with other sound files.
Your sequence must last at least 90 seconds, and must involve extensive modification and shaping of the sound material. It will not be adequate just to drop the entire audio file into the sequence and improvise a MIDI track to go with it.
Use at least three audio tracks.
Have some volume and pan automation in some of the audio tracks. Don't forget to leave the automation play-enabled.
Time-scale or pitch-shift at least one soundbite, and use it in a track.
Use at least two audio effects. Choose these from the Mixing Board insert section or from the Audio Plug-ins menu. (Note: the Spectral Effects command doesn't count toward this requirement; that would count toward the pitch-shift requirement.)
Add at least two MIDI tracks to your sequence.
If you want to use Reason, then you must include a Reason song file that contains your rack and patch selections. Digital Performer has no knowledge of this information. Just leave the Reason file inside your project folder.
Your project files must be organized correctly, with all the sound files living in the "Audio Files" folder inside your project folder. If the sound files aren't there, it's likely that your project will not play for me. Be especially careful not to let your sequence refer to sound files that are only on a server or USB drive. Not only will you probably forget to give me the sound files, but your project may not play back reliably, since those types of disk are too slow.
A good way to test your project is to login to a different computer and copy your project from the Music Server onto the Desktop. Then disconnect from the server (drag its icon to the Trash). Your sequence should open and play as expected. If not, you've got file organization problems.
