Assignment • Step 1: • Launch Pro Tools. • From the Pro Tools File menu, open the OTRR.pts file. • From the Pro Tools File menu, choose “save as” [your initials OTRR] in your student folder. • If you have not created a student folder or are working on a different station, create a new student folder with your name now. • Save
Assignment continued • Step 2: • Create a stereo aux input track. Call it Reason aux. • Create an insert for Reason. Please use the full version of Reason. • Create a stereo audio track. Call it Organ audio. • Create a MIDI track. Call it Organ midi. • Save
Assignment continued • Step 3: • From the File menu choose import MIDI to track. • Import the Old Time Rock and Roll MIDI file. • If asked, choose discard previous existing MIDI data. • Save
Assignment continued • Step 4: • Open the OTRR.rns file from the Reason application. • Assign a MIDI track to the corresponding instruments in Reason. • Save
Assignment continued • Step 5: • Create a stereo audio track for each instrument or MIDI track. • Using the bus sends in Pro Tools, assign MIDI channels and bus sends carefully and record each MIDI track to a corresponding audio track. • You may do this one track at a time or choose different bus sends for each track and record simultaneously. • If you have questions, ask your professor. • Save
Assignment continued • Step 6: • Review the chord chart. • Name the notes and find their corresponding positions on your MIDI keyboard. • Note that the Pro Tools pre-roll is set to 4 measures for your convenience. (Apple 1 if you don’t see the transport) • Arm the MIDI track. (Press R) • Save
Assignment continued • Step 7: • Make sure that quickpunch is selected in the Operations menu. • To record, simply press 3 on the number pad. • If you make a mistake, you will need to Apple-Z or undo your previous recording before recording the next pass. • Save every time you get something you want to keep. • The important part is the process - not the performance.
Assignment continued • Step 8: • Have fun recording. • Don’t worry if you get it right, it’s just good to practice recording the MIDI data over and over. • Save the file. • When you are finished, save the Reason file and Pro Tools file. • Shut down, clean up, power down and have a nice weekend.
