Assignment: Advanced Reason

The first assignment is to create 6 short synthesizer 'licks':

1. Record 3 passages with Reason into tracks in ProTools. At least two have to be with Subtractor. If you want, try another module for the third.
2. Then record each passage with one or more parameters automated as we saw in class. Make it obvious what you are doing.
3. You should be prepared to talk about what you did.
4. I'll give you until a week from Monday (2/11). This assignment should get you thinking about synthesis and about the things we did last year.
