For this project in music technology I plan to create 4 to 5 original songs using Logic Pro X. I hope to do a bit of recording but I plan on mainly working only with the tools provided in Logic. I hope that this project will help me get a better understanding of music and technology. I hope that by the end of this project I will be able to use Logic more precisely. Some of the key skills I will be using to create this project are using technology, recording, and thinking creatively. I hope to develop these skills throughout the course of this project.
Driving Question:
How do I use logic to create original pieces of music?
Plan the Assessment:
-Step 1: Define the Products for the project. What will you assess?
- Early in the project I will be learning how to use Logic Pro X to create music. I must spend a good amount of time researching how to use Logic and I have to make sure that I learn to use everything properly.
- During the project I will be creating the songs. For each song I must spend a good amount of time creating and fleshing out the ideas for the song. I must also make sure that these ideas are creative and original.
- Towards the end of the project I will be editing and revising the song. I have to make sure to spend the proper time editing the song to make it sound good. I also have to use the Logic tools properly in order to make sure the song is edited well.
-Step 2: State the Criteria for exemplary performance for each product.
Product: Music Creation with software instruments
Criteria: With the beat, creative, interesting.
Product: Recording
Criteria: Sounds good, properly done
Product: Editing
Criteria: Quantized properly, does not have mistakes
Map the Project
Skills and Knowledge Needed for this Project:
- Logic Pro X: For this project I need to have a general understanding of Logic. Previous to the project I spent a bit of time learning how to use Logic but throughout the course of the project I will have to refine my skills with using Logic.
- Recording Skills: Also, I hope to do a little bit of recording throughout the project. At the beginning of the Music Tech class we learned a little bit about recording and about microphones but during the project I will need to spend time to learn how to record better.
- Editing Skills: While, I need to be able to understand and use Logic in general, I will also need to be able to use Logic in order to edit my songs. During the project I will need to learn more about how to edit songs properly and how to use the proper tools in Logic.
Throughout the project I will use this blog as a journal in order to share my ideas as well as to organize them.
