  1. Songsounds by Shanee Aliya Karriem This work was funded by National Science Foundation CCLI Grant DUE 0717743; Jennifer Burg PI, Jason Romney Co-PI.

  2. The songs were conceptualized years ago, either already in song form or as poetry… but this environment helped the ideas to become tangible. The Concept… This work was funded by National Science Foundation CCLI Grant DUE 0717743; Jennifer Burg PI, Jason Romney Co-PI.

  3. The Process… • In most cases the vocals were recorded first (then re-recorded later) to establish the key and experiment with accompanying sounds. • This was done in Cakewalk Music Creator. This work was funded by National Science Foundation CCLI Grant DUE 0717743; Jennifer Burg PI, Jason Romney Co-PI.

  4. The Process: Rewire • For a wider variety of instruments and effects, a Rewire through Reason was necessary…and fun! • First, insert the rewire device… This work was funded by National Science Foundation CCLI Grant DUE 0717743; Jennifer Burg PI, Jason Romney Co-PI.

  5. The Process: Rewire, cont’d… • Then choose your instruments/sounds in Reason… • Finally, select Reason as the output and choose the channel that corresponds with your instrument in the Music Creator MIDI track. This work was funded by National Science Foundation CCLI Grant DUE 0717743; Jennifer Burg PI, Jason Romney Co-PI.

  6. The Process: Rewire, cont’d… Once the two programs were linked, changes made to events in one were automatically reflected in the other. This work was funded by National Science Foundation CCLI Grant DUE 0717743; Jennifer Burg PI, Jason Romney Co-PI.

  7. The Process: Final Steps The completed audio was exported as a .wav file, then imported into Adobe Audition for fine-tuning. I tried to get it to sound as evenly blended and natural as possible, using a Multi-band Compressor. This work was funded by National Science Foundation CCLI Grant DUE 0717743; Jennifer Burg PI, Jason Romney Co-PI.

  8. File Types • For editing, standard .wav files were transferred from one program to another… • To transport to other listening environments (via CD or mp3 player), it was necessary to convert the file to an .mp3 file, to save space. (.Wav files can be huge!) This work was funded by National Science Foundation CCLI Grant DUE 0717743; Jennifer Burg PI, Jason Romney Co-PI.

  9. An Example… “Gingerbread Daddy” by Shanee A. Karriem This work was funded by National Science Foundation CCLI Grant DUE 0717743; Jennifer Burg PI, Jason Romney Co-PI.
