Interactive composition content for the week:
Digital Audio Workstations are the industry standard software programs that sound engineers and producers use to capture performances, record music and compose using a variety of sound sources and materials.
This week we will be learning about a number of DAW's, but focusing on using the program "BandLab", which is a free online DAW that allows you to compose and record music, as well as share your ideas and compositions with your friends and class-mates.
