What to do on Wed September 10

Greetings, noise producing creatures!

Today, you will be
A) continuing to work with the program Adobe Audition.

B) continuing your effort to create a theme song for your future radio show.

C) continuing to experiment on mixing different sounds on the different tracks, to see the different effects you can get, and how it makes your "theme song" different

D) to do this, each of you will need to open the program, click on the FILE command, then click "NEW SESSION". This opens a blank window, where you can drag different types of sounds, and arrange them in a way that sounds good, or at least doesn't sound too bad

E) You will SAVE your session, and you will name it after your both your first and last name, plus the phrase "First Session"

F) Your session ends up getting saved in your MY MUSIC FOLDER inside of your MY DOCUMENTS FOLDER. So, when you go to email this session file to me, thats where the file will be located.

G) You MUST BE LOGGED IN AS YOURSELF in order to do this properly. So, when you finish your session, save the file and then log off that computer. You should be able to email me that file from another computer. Let's not waste time!

H) Speaking of time, lets make sure that everyone gets a fair turn. Try to produce something in about a twenty minute block; otherwise, there will be way too many people left waiting at the end of the class.

BY THE END OF THE CLASS, EVERYONE WILL NEED TO HAVE MADE A NEW SESSION. EVERYONE WILL ALSO TO EMAIL THIS NEW SESSION TO ME AS AN ATTACHMENT FILE. YOU WILL NEED TO PUT YOUR NAME AND THE WORDS "FIRST SESSION FILE" IN THE SUBJECT LINE

Cheers,
Mr. L

Oh, btw, while you are waiting for your turn at using Adobe Audition, I will need to have you collecting some free loops, downloading them to your computer, and then emailing at least eleven of them that you think are good to me, as attachment files. You may use the search I used here:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=free+loops+download&aq=3&oq=free+loops

to look for websites that have loops you can download. Or, if you are really ahead of everyone, and know some sites where you can get something good, feel free to do so. Either way, TELL ME WHERE YOU GOT THESE SOUNDS!!!

PS One good site I've found is at http://www.freeloops.com/; they allow you to search for sounds by style, tempo, or instrument just use the little box that says "Search Loops By" in the lower right hand corner.
