4/23_Collabo part2/Burning CDs

So, yesterday we laid down some drum tracks and put them into a song structure. Today, we're going to trade beats and work with other people's drums to make remixes of their songs. To get the beats, go to the Pickup folder and find the folder called Collabo drums (Pickupdropoff>BAVAC>Pickup>Collabo drums).

Now do the following:

1. Find the beat of the person you're collaborating with and copy it to your folder to work on.
2. Immediately do File>Save As and name this file: "your name_partner name_collabo.rns"
3. Open the file and listen to the beat. What style of music is this? What kinds of sounds do you think could work with this song? Pay attention to how the song switches up at the chorus. Think about what you're going to do to match the switch.
4. Using at least 3 instruments (no Dr. Rex, no Redrums!), record some melodies and/or basslines to go with the drums.
5. Once you have the two parts recorded, copy them out so that you have a whole song.
   
6. Save it and turn in a copy to the Dropoff folder. Have your collabo partner come listen to what you did with his/her beat!

To get full credit, you need:

• At least 2 original instruments (no Dr. Rex, no Redrums)
• Drums and melodies copied out for at least 3 Verses and 3 Choruses.
• EXTRA CREDIT if you also add something to the Bridge
  

Remember, the correct file name should be: "yourname_partnername_collabo.rns"

You folks are going to spend today burning CDs of your complete songs. I gave you yesterday to polish up your beats. Today you need to export everything to audio files, import the files to iTunes, create a new playlist containing all your music, and burn CDs.
