STEP 1
Listen
Find a piece of music you love! Browse the SoundMakers catalogue and filter by mood, instrumentation, or composer.
STEP 2
Download
Many of these works have sample packages that you can remix. Click on “Download Samples” to receive a suite of .wav files with parts and phases for you to experiment with.
Wait! Do you have a software program installed to mix audio samples?
Great programs include Audacity (free) or fonofone (paid and recommended for classrooms). You can find a tutorial for fonofone here
STEP 3
Create
Now you’re ready to reimagine SoundMakers works by transforming the pitch (highness or lowness of sound), tempo (speed of music), and more and more. You can even add your own sound effects. Import your samples into your software and remix away!
STEP 4
