Unit 32 - Sequencing Systems 7 Techniques - Logic Review

Logic Review

From the Unit Spec -

The evidence for learning outcome 4 will be provided by the demonstration of understanding of sequencing terminology. For P1, learners will provide simple unelaborated explanations of the specified terminology

1.     (Terminology relating to generic techniques: recording MIDI; editing MIDI; recording audio; editing audio;

instrument editing; mixing; external and internal control; bouncing down).

At merit level these explanations will be supported by reference to tools found in the sequencing software – E.G. Logic 9.

Distinction level learners will be assessing the success with which each tool performs its function, and comparing different methods of achieving similar results (eg the control of volume using track automation compared with MIDI continuous controllers), referring correctly to the terminology at all times to support their arguments.

In simple terms

For a Pass – You need to explain basic sequencing terminology – for example can you explain most of the following terms?

For a Merit – Can you explain how the following terms are related to Logic (how they work in Logic? How they are used in Logic? Where they are found in Logic)

For a Distinction – You would then need to assess, or give your opinion on how well they work, or how useful they are, or give opinion on the easiest/best method of using each thing
