GO TO Soundtrap Lesson

I am Kyle. I have a Bachelors in Science of Music Industry and a Certificate of Advanced Study in Music Education. I am in the CDIT/ COLT program to attain my professional licensure for music education. I teach sound recording, music technology, piano and voice at Albany High School located in Albany, NY. This is my fourth year teaching in total. I am half way through this program at SUNY and eager to use the knowledge I absorb from these classes.

Fun facts: I was the #5 singer-songwriter in the capital region in 2016 and 2017. I was the sound engineer for the music in the TV series Pawn Stars. I released this single and video just a couple months ago.

About me

I am son, brother and friend to many. Ive been teaching for about 4 years in Albany's school system. I created the Music Production & Technology Pathways making a fourth music pathway at Albany High School. I created and built 5 different classes which are slowly, year by year, being approved to teach. I also started Albany High Schools biggest after school program; Sound Recording and Music Technology.

With our new building/ music wing being built here we are in a transition period. We will have a new and state of the art recording studio with a fully functional MIDI Lab. It is important for me and only myself to validate the work I have done to create a new music curriculum/pathway. This second grad degree will also help me attain my professional licensure.

My Topic/Purpose

Say you are assigning a project for class. Say the project you assigned requires creating a video (interview, commercial, music video etc..) and it needs audio or background music or your student want to create a song/rap about a history topic for your midterm. SOUNDTRAP does it all.

With being able to record audio on any computer with WIFI capability or with the APP from Google Play or the Apple Store, Sound trap allows you to produce your own music and record audio individually and collaboratively, even if the 2nd party is miles away. All you need to do is simply use the inviting a friend capability.

You can use the a library of loops, the MIDI editing capability, import sound effects from sites such as soundbible.com and even create your own drum track with the pattern drum beat maker. When you and you team have finished recording or creating the desired audio, you can bounce the track into and MP3 and upload it just about anywhere to then use for your school project.

I will give a step by step mini-course on how to obtain a final MP3 for your desired audio. I will include video tutorials and screen shots explaining menu options and much more.

You will walk away from this mini-course with a full understanding of how to create, mix and produce simple audio in collaboration with others to use for any subject.

Needs Assessment

Information Categories

The information that is needed for my information categories will be derived from the source site. In this mini-lesson we will be able to use the options given to expand on. In an ideal outcome we are looking forward to the leaners to be able to create audio for any project or task to enhance it. I have plenty of experience in this field and know that this topic can be beneficial to any learner Learners will know what a correct outcome will look and sound like. Most people are well versed in what good audio sounds like, but to create is a whole different story. My learners will consist of individuals ready to use and create audio for their podcast or any work requiring audio. My resource will be the website soundtrap.com. With their ‘Help' bar and snapshots I pull from the site, I will be able to guide the learner with ease. My constraints are that I will be only using this website. I could add YouTube links if I find it difficult to explain a specific action.

Information Sources

The Information I use will be located from he website itself. I will utilize YouTube video in necessary and a step by step using green shot from Soundtrap. My personal beliefs will encourage the learners. I am very passionate about this topic. I would wear a “Hug an Audio Engineer’ shirt if I could. Sound is found in every source of media and is over looked how it is attached and what hard work goes into the making of it. I wanted to use a interview I did with the Owner of Foster House Records and teacher at THE NEW SCHOOL which teaches of audio and film.
