Usually there will be a drum track, a bass track, a guitar track and so on. If you want to use pre-recorded music, ACID can use any Windows .wav or Macintosh AIFF audio file. Slow it down without changing the pitch so that it can be more easily comprehended. Or perhaps record a collection of audio tracks using different instruments and then allow the students to create their own musical composition. Students can hear the difference tempo makes to a piece by changing it in real time.
Students can create a project in the key of 'A' and then experiment with changing key.
