| Your group recorded an entire song, original or cover, in Pro Tools and successfully presented it to the class. |
As explained in the syllabus, groups must share their work, ideas, techniques, challenges, and approaches of their project. We will listen in class in an environment for constructive criticism and feedback. If you are absent during your project's presentation, you will individually not receive credit for this portion. |

| Recorded and included ALL instruments that your group has available. |
You must also use at least one sample or software instrument in your track. It cannot replace an instrument you have in your group, but instead augment available instruments. For example, if someone plays the drums, you must record and include the drums! But you can also add a drum machine part. |

| Techically well executed. |
All parts are organized/labeled on their respective tracks and session is easy to read/follow. No audio is clipping. Use of space, panning, reverb, depth, and volume control is required. If any of these is not adhered to (ie. no panning, no volume changes, clipping/peaking/, etc.) you will lose points for this section! |

| Successful deliverable of Pro Tools session file, complete with audio files and dependencies |
The submission must be clearly labeled in your drive, not have multiple nested versions, all audio included, and open as you intend it to be heard in class. Make sure nothing is muted or hanging audio is in your session. Think of this as if you are sending your final product to a label for pressing! |

| Successful deliverable of audio file: 48k/16-bit WAV file. (Not MP3, not AIFF, not FLAC, not anything else!) |
Export your full song correctly and deliver via USB stick or downloadable link. If your link does not download properly, you cannot be graded on the project and will receive a zero. |
