Cakewalk, SpitfireAudio, ProjectSam, AmpleSound, Redfish audio, 8dio. Make orchestrate and play music with free tools.
The main target for this course is to make music using free resources for software and sound libraries.
This is not a programming course. We will look everything with the eye of a musician, so the important thing is to make music, to see how we can use all these free resources, and enjoy the creativity of making music, orchestrating and improvising.
Our basic tool is Cakewalk by Bandlab that is a free DAW that is truly good and tested with many capabilities for making music.
We'll begin by going to the Bandlab site to download Cakewalk, and then we'll see many resources for free sound libraries.
We will hear the sounds, and then we'll go to Cakewalk and start making music.
We will make 5 different projects, we'll see how we can use our libraries in order to make a nice and musical sound, we'll have many tips for improvisation (because the important thing of making music is playing music), we'll see how we can make drum patterns, bass patterns, guitar accompaniment etc.
The first three projects are basically an introduction to Cakewalk. We will make some music pieces with a few tracks, and see all the basic functions of the DAW. As I told you this is not a pure programming course because everything is made with the aspect of a musician. So, at these 3 projects we will have to make melodies and improvise over our project. We will also make some transpositions to the project to see the different melodies we can make to different scales.
The last two projects are complete songs with more tracks of music but also here we'll see the musicians' point of view. We'll see how we can make a musical bridge to go to another musical scale, how to make a change to the orchestration and what musical transitions we can make in order to have a nice result to our project.
We'll have an enjoyable and creative 6 hour course and I hope you'll have a great time with it!
