Creation of 3 tracks

Structure of musical ideas
Time length of at least 1 minute
Input AND editing of MIDI notes
Quantising
Balancing the tracks
In describing the functions: As you are creating and editing your score, make a mental note about what you have to do to be able to input and edit the notes etc into the Music programme - imagine you are having to tell your friend how to do it! You will need to be able to describe these functions as a part of this assessment.
You will need to be able to answer questions about how you operate the programme to create the Music - and you can answers these as written answers, in discussion with your teacher, record yourself talking about it, a screen capture etc. Use the Checklist sheet below as your guide for this - and to ensure that you've done everything that you need to do in order to achieve this standard.
There are lots 'how to' videos to help you with starting this assessment using Bandlab - See the Workspace in Harpara - OR - on it's on our Website here too.
You can also look up and find lots of tutorials on YouTube - this also goes for Garageband, or any other Music programme you're using.
