P2 - E3

Work as a production team of artist/artists and producer to perform and record music on a DAW, demonstrating skills of communicating instructions and keeping in time with the click track; attention to detail; selection of appropriate sounds; dropping in; and quantising, as appropriate.

Encourage learners to record a variety of voices and instruments, maintaining a regular pulse and listening to the other players.

Remind learners to pay attention to the pulse.

Encourage different learners to take a lead, perhaps by counting in, selecting the tempi or suggesting expressive contrasts.

Ask learners to follow a metronome or click track.

This can be tricky if learners are not used to playing in time. Stick with it and insist upon good timing, it is better to capture a good performance than ‘fix it in the mix’.
