ICT and Music



Year 7 music students learn to use Cubase LE a Music Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) program which allows for the creation and recording of music as well as the manipulation and editing of existing MIDI files.


Year 8's use Cubase and also learn another program called Adobe Audition. This program allows for the recording of the human voice and real instruments.















Later in the course the students record music tracks, voices and foley and then synchronise these original parts to short movie trailers which we then present to the class. In year 9 the students learn advanced MIDI techniques and start to learn Cubase 4 which is a professional music production program from which above CD quality recordings can be made.
