In Digital Media, we created a variety of audio projects in Pro Tools and Reason, two different digital audio workstations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro Tools: Using Software Virtual Instruments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Pro Tools, we learned how to create a basic beat and 4 chord song: there is a series of 4 chords that form a popular base for a huge range of songs. These four chords, in any key, use a I\u2013V\u2013vi\u2013IV progression, and a similar beat. Because of this, many songs can be played together as a mashup, including ALL of these: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
