mastering is the mix down process before you import scilence is 0db no sound can be louder then 0 db otherwise it is out of our box sound must stay in box first dimension of box is amplitude second dimension is stero feel you can only go as far as it will let you work with in box but stray from center thrid dimension is frequencei and you need high and low frequencie 44.1 is highest amount of samples per second the fullest of the box is is equivelent to the amount in it you need to fill the box splodge an irregu;ly shaped spot splodege needs to have all sounds to fill gaps put in eq pads take up a lot of space add eq to pad head room is the tallest point of your tra ck or the dead space above sounds want sounds to touch lid of box make room with eq for other instruments hi hats use up lots of space along with basslines cut before you boost if you want to find how fsat loop is you can use bpm counter

Things id like to learntechno and hip hop / all genre mashups more house music stuff and mainly remixing mashup type stuff more loop type stuff logic and ableton used the most dubstep remiexes taking to diffrent genres and mashing them to make an epic song

Ideas of things i need to do Find out how mashups are made who broughut about this genre what artists dominate this genre what softwares and teqniuqes are used

**Project Title** Mashups "From past to present"

**Project Description** My project is mainly going to be about the history of a mashup remix and how this new age genre was brought about. Also What artists are the ones that are highly influential to this genre. Also learning how mashups are made and with that doing a video of my own to show how i made my own. With this i need to larn the key aspects of mashups. I.E what makes a good mashup, what genres blend well to make a mashup what softwares are used nd if this this is dominated by live [preformance or is mainly built on todays viewing websites like you tube vimeo and other video/audio sites. Also learning about the copyright issuses that these artists face whille in the process of making there songs. 

**Project Rationale** I Chose this projesct because i really enjoy mashup remixes. And due to the fact they are very new to the music scene I would like to further add on with new ways to create mashups quicker. Use quicker Teqniques and also how they came about and what makes them so popular. 

**Components for Mastery** 
 * Reserch the history of mashups and how they came about and put that in to a working keynote project
 * Since I have some knowlege of mashup artists but not a ton i am going to make two sort of bios about them and the difficulties they have creating these song. Especially with many copyright issues they face in the process (like the electronic ensemble projest we did at the beging of the year).listen to these artists and other top mashups.
 * Learn how to make mashups by reserching logic and able ton produced videos and also serching on youtube for home made how-to videos that explain how to make mashups on these softwares.
 * Begin to find songs that are unique that would work well for a mashup. I will make sure to use a wide variety of genres to have and end product of a very uniqe sound in my songs.
 * Begin the process of making my song over time bouncing my progress to show sort of how it came along overtime.
 * After finishing master my song add pan and other affects compression volume automation and the other tools we have learned to use.
 * Finally put all my work into a keynote plus within the keynote adding my own guide to making a mashup with my own teqniques and tips they make the song gret and what helps making the song easier my song on a you tube link at the end.
 * Post song and keynote to youtube for people to benefit from and further others knowledge of mashup remixes

connections to prior learning, etc.//(You may add to this later as you learn more about the topic)//  **Research**  I have mainly mashups on my own computer. With this I have a good amount of knowlege on the artists that dominate this genre. And I've done a little reaserch on how they are made, but I will need to look a little more to find out how to make them on logic.   **Outline of Process**  1) Begin to reserch the history of mashupsd and listen to some of the songs that began the genre.   2)Rut my findings in to a keynote. (I will use this keynote for my final project.  3)Reserch and make bios of top mashup artists and find samples of their songs. Then add these bios ive made and put them into the seconfd section of the keynote. <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> 4) Begin to gain knoledge on how to make mashups on logic through logic produced videos and home made how to videos that discuss hot to make them. <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> 5)Find unique songs for my own mash up. <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> 6) Begin to make my song and over time bounce these files to show how it came along throught the piece. <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> 7)master my song. <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">8) Put my song on you tube. <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">9)Then put all my work and song on my keynote and make my own how tolist for making mashups via logic. (this will also be on the keynote). This will be my final presentation. <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> **Creative Work and Presentation** <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> What will be the application of your research? <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> How will you demonstrate your understanding of the concept? By making a how to list on making mashups that will be included in my keynote <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> How will you use the information? How will you share this with others? I wil share this to others through a final keynote showing all my work I've done. <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> **Evaluation** <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">What will make this project a sucsees is not only will I be learning the history of mashups, but my project will show others too! Plus By learning how to make mash ups myself I will make my own how to that will teach the techniques and skills i used to make my own mash up. Plus This keynote covers a wide variety of mashups from the hitory of them. THe artists that ominate the genre. How a mashup is mad. And an epic mashup made by t-tiny to conclude the project! <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> "A **mashup** or **blend**<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; color: #0645ad; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[|[1]] (also **mash up** and **mash-up**) is a song or composition created by blending two or more pre-recorded songs, usually by overlaying the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the instrumental track of another.<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; color: #0645ad; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[|[2]] To the extent that such works are '<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;">[|transformative] ' of original content, they may find protection from copyright claims under the "<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;">[|fair use] " doctrine of copyright law. <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[|[][|3]] "  <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashup_(music)  <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> media type="custom" key="7588101"first mashup  <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> November 19 journal  <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> Today i began reserch on the history of mashups and also began reserching some artists.

Were you able to find information on your topic that was helpful to your understanding of the subject? <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> I was, i used links and papers you gave to me and for my artist biographys iI used wikipedia which was farely helpful. and other music sites.

Where you able to stretch yourself to learn more on the topic or did you find that you relied only on what you already knew on the topic? Be specific. I was i looked deein to the history of the mashup and what spakerd this new age sub-genre also the teqniuqes and skills used to master the art of making my own. All of this is reflected in my powerepoint which is my final presentation for my work.

In what way have you grown intellectually as a result of this project? I have learned to think deeper in to things. Because when i was choosing songs the ones that didn't go that well together when i thought about it were the best parts of my song in the end. Also looking deeper into the genres and the tempos and what would boost my mash.

How would you approach the process differently if you had another opportunity to learn in this manner? I would maybe try to make mashups in a new way that hasn't been done to really see how deep this genere goes.

What was the greatest benefit of your learning experience? <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> learning how to make the mashups and all the things that go along beatmatching tempo flexing etc because now with these skills that also apply to making any song i can begin to make more mashups and new creations on my own.
