Holiday Festival compilation

This 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. 

Everyone must submit 1-2 songs to be part of our class compilation. I want to hear your best work from this class. This is going to count as our quiz (10 points) for this week, so it is not an optional assignment. Please note that we you will be turning in an audio file, not a Reason file. I will be posting the steps for doing this on our blog tomorrow. In the meantime, you can find instructions here.

Your final song should include all of the following elements:
  1. Identifiable structure (Intro, Verses, Choruses)
  2. Basic mixing - volume, panning, use of FX
  3. A fade out at the end.
  4. If you are turning in an instrumental song, don't make it longer than 1-2 minutes. Acapella remixes can be as long as you need them to be, BUT if you turn in a remix, then you also need to turn in an original instrumental.
