5/4_Acapella pt.3/Finish Self-Critiques

Text ColorBasic
So by now you should have the first chorus and verse from "
Tell Me When To Go" in your song. Today, your goals will be to:
  1. Add the second and third verses to the song.
  2. Copy and paste the chorus in between the verses (and wherever else you want).
  3. Add additional instruments to the song (at least 4 total).
  4. Add some FX to the chorus.
You can find the audio files of the 2nd/3rd verses in the Pickup folder. (Pickupdropoff>Runde>Pickup>Period 5).

A few things you should be aware of...
  • The original structure of the song is: Chorus-Verse 1-Chorus-Verse 2- Chorus-Verse 3-Chorus. If you want to switch the order up, I am fine with that, but I want all three verses in your song and at least 3 choruses.
  • Verse 3 is 24 bars long!!! Remember to draw a note that is long enough. If you're not sure how long to make it, just take the number of the bar you are starting on and add 24 to it.
For example, if you are putting Verse 3 in at Bar 57, you would just do this:
57 + 24=81.

The note ends on Bar 81.

Please remember to Self-Contain your song before you save it. (File>Self Contain Settings>Check All).

Most of you folks still haven't finished re-exporting the edits of your finished songs. If you haven't done this yet, please do it today so that we can move on. If you have turned everything in, please let me know and I'll give you the assignment that we're going to be starting tomorrow.
