Session 1: Today in class I will be discussing the basics of MIDI sequencing. We learned some of what’s possible during the MIDI File Music Production project, but sequencing music is an incredibly deep and involved art form. We will discuss and demonstrate techniques including, step editing, arpeggiation, automation, quantization, and transposition.

After the demo we’ll have a brief discussion regarding the steps necessary to “master” your final audio and combine it with the video.

2. Show multiple examples of automation in your document.
3. Demonstrate the use of non-destructive effects in your Audition document.
