Hello and thank you for checking out our camp. Please double check the times posted for each session as they vary from single day to multi-week camps. Throughout the two sessions in this camp, learners observe and experiment with important music production tools using Soundtrap. Soundtrap is an affordable/free digital audio workstation that is great for beginners due to its user friendly configuration. The skills learned and practiced are music production skills that are transferrable to other more professional softwares. Soundtrap runs on desktop/laptop browsers and through a mobile app for tablets. The mobile app excludes some of the available features. For that reason, using a laptop or computer will provide a better experience. Please review the "Parental Guidance" to learn why learners are required to use the Soundtrap student account that will be temporarily provided. Please double check the scheduled sessions. Not all sections are uniform in times and days of the week. A one day private lesson is offered if minimum enrollment is not reached and only one learner signs up. Day 1 -How to open a new or previous project -Basics -Tracks, regions, and loops Day 2 -How to use MIDI devices with software instruments -How to record using software instruments -How to record audio with a microphone -Intro to audio interfaces -How to export a project

Parental Guidance
A temporary Soundtrap for Education code will be provided in the days approaching the start of camp. Once inside Soundtrap's main website page, you will click on the tab across the top which says "Education" and type in the code. This will ensure your learner is using the format of Soundtrap that complies with COPPA and FERPA. All temporary accounts will be deleted after camp and it will be up to the learner's parents or caretakers to create an account they may use. The learner will have to export any desired projects from the Education account at the end of our last session. Please reach out to me or visit soundtrap.com for more information.
Supply List
Learners are welcome to use any other recording gear or instruments for their projects. We will discussing MIDI devices on day 2 and audio interfaces on day 3.
