6th
Grade General Music -
Currently working on
loop-based compositions
with Sony Acid Xpress.
Many students have
expressed interest in
owning this FREE program
at home. It is
available as a free
download
here.
Acid
Xpress is the PC version
that is comparable to
Apple's Garageband.
Acid Xpress required you
to find your own loops
though. While
there are many sites out
there that you can
purchase loops from,
there are also many that
you can find them at for
free. It just
means that you need to
do some searching for
them. A great site
to start with to find
some loops would be :
http://www.peaceloveproductions.com/downloadfreewavs.html
Also,
any .wav or .mp3 file
can be used with Acid
Xpress.
In
the coming weeks, I hope
to get up some samples
of student work from the
first class to attempt
this cool project!
