Turn In - Song

Finish the song you started last week in Reaper.

To turn it in, create a folder in your Turn In folder in drive and name it Song. The folder should contain the following (and nothing else) for full credit.

song.html

To show your understanding of music creation in Reaper, add the following to song.html:

• Use the snipping tool to take three screenshots of Reaper during the important steps in the song creation process.
• Caption each screenshot with a description of what is going on and why.
• Make a list of three crucial vocabulary words that you learned while creating, and their definitions.
• Answer the following questions:
  1. What did you like about the process? What did you dislike?
  2. What advice would you give to someone who is just starting how to use Reaper to create music?

Final Project - Jingle [Small Groups]

You have been hired by a new local restaurant to promote their business. You have a couple of goals:

• Create a catchy name for the restaurant. They serve a mix of popular dishes from different cultures.
• Write a memorable slogan, a short phrase that expresses the main idea of the business.
• Design a 30 second radio commercial promoting the restaurant. The commercial must include ALL of the following:
  • Music you created in Reaper. You must use at least one midi instrument.
  • Sound effects from both Audioblocks and recorded by you. Edit the audio in some way using Audacity.
  • Narration written and recorded by your group.
  • It is intended to appeal to people your age.

Rules

• All content in the ad must be your original idea and work (besides using Audioblocks clips). You may not use real business names, slogans, or professional music in your project.
• Every person in the group should be assigned a specific major role in creating the project. Write down the responsibilities before starting.
• All recording outside of the classroom requires a detailed, written description of the audio to be recorded and approval by the instructor.
• Document the process of creation by taking occassional screenshots of your progress at important steps.
