Identifying few characteristics of the music genre and thinking of ideas of how to convey those characteristics with the choice of instruments. ]]> 2022-05-19 09:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/6r62z7j7h5/chmz21h87jta2j76/wish/2191045113 https://padlet.com/6r62z7j7h5/chmz21h87jta2j76/wish/2191045180 Using EQ, compression, etc to manipulate sounds 

Breaking down the music was helpful to know how to arrange for a certain genre

Before going into the notes, the timbre of the instrumentation is quite essential]]> 2022-05-19 09:23:12 UTC https://padlet.com/6r62z7j7h5/chmz21h87jta2j76/wish/2191045180 https://padlet.com/6r62z7j7h5/chmz21h87jta2j76/wish/2191045195 1. Less is more (more often than not). Only use a new track when it serves a purpose )
2. breaking down  the whole song into sections is important in the planning process . It allows us to visualise the emotional contour of the whole song in linear fashion even before we get started on the individual tracks 
3. Work in vertical blocks ]]> 2022-05-19 09:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/6r62z7j7h5/chmz21h87jta2j76/wish/2191045195 Emily https://padlet.com/6r62z7j7h5/chmz21h87jta2j76/wish/2191045206 1. Genre of music you choose must match the instruments you use.
2. Layering is a technique to add texture 
3. Sounding - balancing, eq , gain, etc is also important.]]> 2022-05-19 09:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/6r62z7j7h5/chmz21h87jta2j76/wish/2191045206 Agnes https://padlet.com/6r62z7j7h5/chmz21h87jta2j76/wish/2191045419 1) Mixing and recording techniques

Loops are good for use, but the key skill to have is how to manipulate these loops to fit the style of the song and meet genre specific traits to create a cohesive style
2. Timbre is super important! Following your ears to create a specific sound using EQ and plugins was a key takeaway from this course for me. 
3. Listen listen listen! To different genres, and even artist specific traits. Genre features are not a cage, it’s a powerful tool for musical communication ]]> 2022-05-19 09:23:56 UTC https://padlet.com/6r62z7j7h5/chmz21h87jta2j76/wish/2191046042 https://padlet.com/6r62z7j7h5/chmz21h87jta2j76/wish/2191046066 1.
