Prepare a DAW for a product.

Preparation should include

• setting up a session (e.g., key, meter, tempo, clocking)
• organizing tracks (e.g., routing, bussing)
• setting recording levels.

Process/Skill Questions:

• What issues occur when the sample rate in the DAW does not match the source files?
• How can meter affect rhythm in a session?
• How does one set tempo?
• How does one find the key of the song?
• How does one organize the track of a song?
• How does one bus, and when should bussing be used?
