Last Friday, Year 12 and 13 Music Tech students had the chance to go to a Music Technology Conference in London. We were given a huge pack of conference notes, full of helpful tips and useful information to help us with our sequencing and recording coursework, and advice for our exams. We were shown examples of other students’ coursework and then shown how to mix and add effects to the overall piece.
The speakers went into a lot of detail with the sequencing tasks, showing us good samples to use and how to input them correctly. They also gave us useful advice about the recording tasks, and how to record tracks and position microphones for certain instruments in a basic recording. This conference has helped us to understand what the examiners look for in our coursework, and how to make our work better to get the highest marks possible. Even Mr Hurst was taking notes!
