Objective:
Participants will learn how to setup and use host and client audio applications.
Materials:
The instructor will use the included exercise and assets or provide an alternate exercise that focuses on setting up and using Reason as a ReWire client application.
Procedures:
The instructor will discuss and demonstrate the use and procedures for using host and client DAW applications including…
the benefits of using client applications;
the available client audio applications;
the setup procedures including MIDI and audio signal routing;
the correct order for starting and stopping host and client applications;
the correct procedures and best practices for saving host and client sessions or projects;
sequencing in a host application vs. a client application.
Class Activities:
Participants will complete Exercise 4b: Rewire

Topic 5: Pattern-Based Drum Programming and Multi-Output Virtual Instruments
Objective:
Participants will learn to create drum set parts using pattern-based virtual drum instruments.
Participants will learn to use the multi-output functionality integrated into many virtual MIDI instruments.
Materials:
The instructor will use the included exercise and assets or provide an alternate exercise that uses a pattern-based virtual drum instrument (Ultrabeat, Additive Drums, Strike, EZ Drummer, BFD, etc.)
Procedures:
The instructor will discuss and demonstrate…
the use of a pattern-based virtual drum instrument;
the best practices of creating pattern-based drum parts;
the pro and cons of mixing multiple parts (and adding signal processing) within a virtual instrument;
how to route the multiple parts of a multi-output virtual instrument to independent tracks; and
the gain structure challenges and best practices of using a multi-output virtual instrument.
Class Activities:
Participants will complete Exercise 5: Pattern-Based Drum Programming and Multi-Output Virtual Instruments

Topic 6: Using Virtual Samplers
Objective:
Participants will learn to use virtual sampler MIDI instruments, including multiple sampled instrument articulations and a multi-output setup.
Materials:
The instructor will use the included exercise and assets or provide an alternate exercise that uses a multi-output virtual sampler instrument and sample library with multiple instrument articulations.
Procedures:
The instructor will discuss and demonstrate …
how to setup a virtual sampler as a multi-output virtual instrument;
transposing instruments (Bb trumpet for example) and SMFs;
how to transpose a MIDI region;
how to transpose a track using real-time properties;
how to use multiple samples and articulations to better emulate human performance;
key switching in a virtual sampler;
the importance of editing MIDI note velocities to enhance musical phrasing and the expressive use of dynamics; and
the importance of editing MIDI note durations to enhance musical phrasing and the expressive use of articulation.
Class Activities:
Participants will complete Exercise 6: Virtual Samplers
