John Nunes' Foundation of Music Technology Final Project

For my final project I intend to record myself playing my keyboard and then use either GarageBand or Abelton Live to add some other sounds and edit the tracks with effects as learned in class. I will record multiple pieces of songs and use these as the segments to be worked on. I used the songs "How to Save a Life" by the Fray, "Hall of Fame" by the Script, "Blue" by Eiffel 65 and the Office Theme Song. As far as music technology I knew next to nothing going into this course and only have experience with what has been done so far. To complete this project I need to learn about recording my keyboard directly into my computer and have it saved as a midi file. Then I will use the effects learned from class in Abelton and maybe try to use new effects as well. The deliverable will be an MP3 file of the original recording and a separate MP3 file that was edited with Abelton.
