Assignment Week 2: "Prepare a project in your DAW using the project checklist from the material as your guidelines”
Introduction • Hi my name is Tom and I am from Devon in the UK and I enjoy creating music but I need to sharpen up my Production techniques , which is why I am taking this course so here we go !
Pre-ProductionThe Project Checklist • 1. Name your Project / Check the project location • 2. Digital Audio Preferences • 3. Recording File type • 4. Hardware Setting • 5. Buffer Size
My DAW • I am using Ableton Live 8
Name your Project Please note Ableton Live automatically creates a New Project (Live Set)Untitled so Name your project check location and save
Check location Rename and Save
Digital Audio preferences After clicking Options / Preferences / Audio , set the Sampling Rate to 48000 Khz. This is commonly used in music production and higher quality than the default 44100 Khz
Digital and audio preferences After clicking Options / Preferences / Record, set the File Type to Wav and the Bit Depth to 24
Hardware Settings and Daw Configurations Click back to Preferences / Audio and click Audio Device
Hardware Settings and Daw Configurations In this case my Audio Device Interface is a Zoom R16 R24 there are many others like Roland , M audio etc. , so I click on that in order that my Daw and Interface are connected
Hardware Settings and Daw Configurations • Next we set the Channel I/O ‘s Inputs and Outputs
Hardware Settings and Daw Configurations • Input Configuration • Here we have the option to choose either mono or stereo inputs depending on what you are recording • ie Synth’s stereo • Guitar mono
Hardware Settings and Daw Configurations • Output configuration • Both are chosen so you have choice
Buffer size • Click on Hardware Setup • Set your Buffer Size to 128 samples as this will provide Low Latency whilst recording plug ins and increase when necessary during post production mixing to 1024 samples
Reflection • Well thank you for looking at my Presentation and I hope it helps you understand Pre – Production Set up, points to remember are ; • Name your Project • Digital & Audio Preferences • Recording File Type • Hardware Setting • Buffer Size
