Lab 5.01 - Intro to EarSketch

Create a basic EarSketch project using the following requirements:

  • Open the Earsketch DAW and log in.

  • Click “Options – Save Script to Cloud” and set a name for your song.

  • In comments at the top of your code, include your name, the name of the song (e.g. “Lab 5.01”), and a brief, clear description of the project.

  • Set the tempo of the project to 140 BPM.

  • Make 4 different variables that will hold the following constants:

    • DUBSTEP_BASS_WOBBLE_007
    • DUBSTEP_PAD_003
    • DUBSTEP_DRUMLOOP_MAIN_005
    • DUBSTEP_LEAD_004

  • Make at least 4 tracks using the fitMedia() function. Each track should contain a different audio loop from the other tracks.

  • Each of the tracks should start or stop on different measures (e.g. track 1 starts on measure 1, track 2 starts on measure 4, and so on).

  • Define and use at least 4 variables using 4 different constants from the EarSketch Audio Loop Browser.

  • The project should have a total length of 12 measures.

  • Make sure to include descriptive comments throughout your script.

  • Copy and save the script to your online IDE for turn in.
