CHAPTER

CONSTRUCTING A MUSIC LAB

WITH MIXCRAFT

Educators are often faced with tough decisions when creating a computer-based music lab.

Financial constraints, classroom space and availability, and curriculum limitations will inevitably

inﬂuence the purchasing of equipment, the classroom setup, and the lesson plans. For educators

who have no background working with music equipment or software, building a music lab can

feel especially overwhelming. Researching and learning about audio equipment takes time and

a great deal of patience: one can easily get lost in the sea of equipment that is readily available.

This chapter attempts to rectify these issues and to demystify the audio world. First, in the

“Setting Up Your Music Lab” section, an overview of affordable music hardware and software

is offered. Included is a selection of the common pieces of equipment that should jump start the

process of turning a classroom or computer lab into a fully functioning music lab. Next, “School

Environments For Your Music Lab” outlines how to conﬁgure and setup music hardware and

software. For educators interested in more technical explanations, a great amount of literature is

available that discusses audio equipment, recording arts, and audio production.

SETTING UP YOUR MUSIC LAB

SUGGESTED HARDWARE

PC Computer: Mixcraft is for PC computers only. Currently, Mixcraft version 6 is supported by

Windows® 7 and 8, Vista, and XP. During student lessons, it would be best for each student to

have a computer. If this is not possible, then the class can be divided into small groups of students

who share what individual computers are available. When resources are scarce, however, at a bare

minimum, having one central PC and projector run by the educator will sufﬁce for many lessons,

especially for those recording projects that include the entire classroom.

Computer Audio Drivers/Sound Device: PC computers have built in “audio drivers” that

enable communication between software applications and a computer’s sound card. The default

audio driver for Windows is DirectSound displayed as the “Wave” driver in Mixcraft. This manual

recommends downloading and installing Steinberg’s Audio Stream Input/Output (ASIO) onto your

computer for enhanced playback and recording. You can download the driver from ASIO4ALL’s

website: http://www.asio4all.com/.

Projector/Projection Screen: It might be necessary for educators to walk students through

lesson plans step-by-step. Using a projector and projection screen during classroom projects will

accomplish this instruction need. A mobile projector on a cart is appropriate when using shared

classroom space because it allows educators to easily set up or tear down.

Microphones: Educators looking to record student solo or group performances might need to

use a microphone. There are many resources available that explain microphone types, setup,

positioning, and microphone care. For classroom purposes, investing in a cheap condenser

microphone (around $100.00 USD) or a USB microphone will sufﬁce for most student projects.
