At the teacher station is Sound Forge 4.5 with all the plug-ins . We also have CD Factory so students can produce their own CDs. This software is very versatile and Sonic Foundry has the best customer service and tech support I've encountered. I am unfamiliar with other tutorial software and would love to hear about more effective programs out there. They may change the tuning, meter, tempo and more without affecting the integrity of the music.
Acid is a great way to get students started with music technology.
Even students with no musical background can begin composing a piece of music within minutes of opening Acid for the first time. We have 18 stations and 1 teacher station in our tech lab. Music technology is so popular at Fort Lupton that students stay late to work on projects and have trouble leaving. We especially encourage Music Tech students to come in after hours to work on projects. We usually have students in the lab before school, at lunch time and after school.
