ECE 160/CS 182 - Multimedia Systems
Project Guidelines: Project 2
This document is meant to be used as a guideline for completing the project.
Note that this is more specific than the original project instructions.
You must use a digital music composition system to compose and perform a
piece of original music. You will be manually entering notes into a staff or a
track.
Don't worry about not being musically inclined, the grading is not based on how
beautiful it sounds, but more of the technical effort put into your composition.
The duration of final audio clip is to be less than 30 seconds long.
Your software package must have the capability of having multiple tracks.
Include at LEAST two tracks using different instruments / sounds. The
tracks have to be mixed for playback i.e the notes from different
instruments should all play simultaneously in your final audio clip, its not
like guitar plays first and then drums follow, they should both play at the
same time.
Include audio effects. For example pitch bend, delay, chorus, EQ,
distortion, etc. Show that you made an effort to explore the possibilities.
The clip needs to be demonstrated by you to the TA either on or before
the due date in lab. You can also demonstrate it on your own laptop.
You will be asked a range of questions such as instruments used, what
types of effects were used and where they occur in your audio clip.
