Friday Assignments 12/11/08

So today you have a few things to work on...
  • First priority is on finishing and turning in the "Single Ladies" remix that we've been working on this week.
  • Second priority is to get a song finished for the Holiday Festival compilation (see below). You must get one of the instructors to sign off on your beat before you turn it in.
  • If you finish both of the above assignments, I have another acapella remix for you to work on (5 points extra credit.)

Next Wednesday (Dec. 17th) there is going to be a Holiday Festival here at O'Connell at 5:30. Our class is going to contribute music to be played over the P.A. system. I'm going to put together a compilation and I want everyone to submit 1-2 pieces of their best work to be in it.

Your final song should have all of the following elements:
  1. Identifiable structure (intro, verses, choruses)
  2. Basic mixing (volume, panning and FX)
  3. fade out at the end
  4. If it is a strictly instrumental song, this should be no longer than 1-2 minutes(the acapella remixes can be as long as you want).
Note: you are welcome to submit one of the acapella remixes we've been working on, but if you do so you must also submit one of your original beats!
