June 15 part 2

The team and I were amazed at our collaborative efforts today to reorganize and, essentially, teach Chapter 3 to each other. Before lunch we got ourselves caught up in terms of blogging and filling out Sakai evaluations, and as we finished we worked with the software to see if we could make loops on Audition. I didn't feel like I made too much progress there- I'll need to work with more users manuals to feel comfortable with that material. After lunch, the whole team tackled chapter 3, and we taught all of the material up to rhythmic notation. We looked at the chapters table of contents and altered the order of things a little, and taught the other members of the team how the basics of music function. When we finished as much as we could handle, I spent the last hour of the day working on recording some things in Sonar- and doing a LOT of troubleshooting with my midi keyboard. We determined that the keyboard itself was struggling, and switched it out, so now I have a consistently working keyboard. I used that to continue my songwriting, which took me up to the end of the day.
