investigation reflection

10. Write a short statement of what you are going to make, why you are going to make it, and for whom you are making it.

Formulate a Design Specification

i am going to make a song. i am making a song because i got all the recouscourses. i am making it for 6^th graders since they are just entering middle school and they need to be brought up to speed.

11. What are the requirements for this assignment?

i must teach them the design in a shot song possibly in less then a minute thirty secounds. 

12. What are the limitations you have with this assignment?

being ablle to sing the lyrics clearly to were they are able to understand what the desgin cycle is.

13. How will you "test" your project?

I well test my projects by playing it to a group of 6^th graders and see if they are able to retain anything i said

fl studio 8xxl

speed- fl studios 8xxl is the ultimate music editing program. its responsive and quick to boot up, i use it allot but mostly just for fun. i have made beats with it and it was easy and quick its both simple and complex. i like it because it does what i want it to do when i want it to do it there is no lag and almost no bugs in it. i like it responds to what ever i want it to do, if i want to edit the tempo; i can. if i want to edit the pitch; i can. in wavsaurios i can't do that. and i can do it twice as fast. i well be able to put in all my effort to make a greet thing in minimum amount of time. i well be able to do things that i wouldn't be able to do with the other program and i well be able to do it fast. this program is really responsive it does what ever i want it to do.

simplicity- this program isn't the easiest to run. it takes Patience practice and lots of tutorial videos to be able to master it. the reason it is so hard to use is because it is a professional recording, beat creator and music editing program. i like it; i get it. but other people don't; they think it is confessing and complicated. and yes it is but is is such a great program that's why recording studios across the united states use it. people might not get it but i do that's why i use it i have tried other programs and this is one of the best i have used and its for a reason; its good you well be able to make quality music with it. over all its hard to use but it gets the job done and it gets the job done right.

user friendly- when it comes to this program there are many tutorial videos and step by step instructions. that's how i learned how to use it i watched videos and i read instructions on it. also when you start it up for the first time there is a introduction that shows you all the main parts. it basically shows you your basic editing like changing your tempo or change. or were there are templates that give you the basic beat.you can also build your beats from scratch. there is sounds that you can use and from there you can change the tempo pitch. Or just about any thing that you want to do with it.

accessibility- this program is accessible to me cause i have the program on a external hard drive at home and i have it loaded up on my computer at home. i can use it when ever i want to when I'm at home no mater if its day or night. if the Internet is  down or if the computer is broken i all ready have it loaded on my external hard drive. i also have access to it if all thing go down the drain i can go to my friend jc house who also has the same program as me loaded on his computer. that's why i like this program it was recommended to me by my brothers friend DJ low and i recommended it to my friend jc. music is a universal language and with this program i can access this language. that's why i really like this I'm infatuated by this program cause i can do almost any thing with it. and if i wanted i could download bits and parts of popular song s and involve it into my song.

 wavosaur

speed-this program wavosaur is fast and responsive its easy to work with but it doesn't do what i want it to do. i well be able to throw something together with out trying but it wont sound as good, and i wont put any effort in it. i wouldn't lead a good example for the 6th graders. wavsauris is easy to run since it is a free ware there isn't much i have to do to get up and running but like i said before it doesn't run fast enough for me. it doesn't respond quick enough for me. it boots up quick and I'm able to start it. i well give it that but i don't like the fell of it. i fell as if it lags to much and i don't get to use it for its full potential. 

simplicity- this program is simple and easy to use for me and well most likely be easy to make a song with it, but it doesn't have accessibility to it i well not be able to go in depth. There is a simple beat and you cut and paste audio. the thing with it that i wont be able to access it at home and if i did it would not do what i want it to do for me. this software is an example of the easy way out. Shur it well do what is need to be done. shur i well be able to show 6th graders how to use the design cycle in the lyrics but it wont be good enough. this is to easy i want it to be legit and professional. so i can lead the 6th graders the right way and be a romodel for them and show them to not take the easy way out. i want them to try there hardest and follow each step of the design cycle and for them to learn what it is.

user friendly- this program is kinda user friendly. when i tried using it i had difficult making it do what i really wanted it to do. i cant really edit the tempo i cant go in and actually edit everything i want it to edit. it is ok i have seen worse music editing software's but this is kinda bad. to me it doesn't give me full access for everything that  i need to have access to. it is OK like i said before but i have seen better. don't take it wrong its good for a freeware. but like i said before it doesn't do everything that you need it to do for you.

accessibility-this isn't that accessible for me since my Internet at my house is the best and most of the times it has been down. it would be greet if there was a disk or if it was easier to download here at school. but since i really cant if i were to use this program it would end up being more difficult then it really is.  i wouldn't be able to access this all the time. but if i could i would give it a higher score but since i cant I'm still going to give it 2. if i was able to install it here at school it would be fine but since i cant i well just have to deal with it. if i could i would use this program but i really don't like it if it wasn't buggy, as glitch, and if i were to use it any were i went it would be good.

reflection day 2

 I well maybe even do music with a program called fl studios 8xxl. or use a a free ware program called wavosaur. i would really like to use fl studios because you can go real in-depth but if i did use it i would have to install additional software. it would be worth it but it would be time consuming. f; studio is a professional program used by recording studios all over the world. wavosaur is a free share ware that has quality and is legit. i well most likely use fl studio for my design cycle i well compose and produce my music. it well draw in 6th grader and they well be able to understand the design cycle and use it in real life situations.

1. What is the problem you need to solve?
we need to teach 6th graders how to use the design cycle.

2. How does the Design Cycle apply to the real world?
people use it to solve every day problems, people try to find the most efficient way of solving it.

3. How will this project serve my community?
my project well educate people in a new way of solving problems.

4. How can my learning help my community?
it ca help my community by showing the correct way of doing it and the proper way of doing things.

5. How do we live in relation to each other?
if everyone in our community worked together it would be filled with great things.

6. How does this help others?
it helps others by getting organized.  


8. What is the Design Cycle?
the design cycle are steps you takes to solve any problem that gets thrown at you, no mater what it is you can always solve  any problem using the steps of the design cycle investigate design plan create and evaluate.
9. Spend one day experimenting with DESIGN CYCLE your presentation. List five things your learned about the Design Cycle:


the five things i learned from the design cycle is 

1. we learned that we need to plan before we do any thing.
2. we need to do research on your subject.
3. when we plan we do it the right way no skipping steps you must think everything through.
4. when you create the project you must put every thing into perspective then you make the actual product.
5. and then you get your peers to cheek over what you did.
