You will download a free digital audio workstation (DAW) - music production software - to your laptop and be introduced to its main functions and instrument library. You will learn how to enter notes, beats, and effects and create multiple musical tracks. Using the DAW, you will then design and create an original piece for use as a ringtone and export the audio file to your cell phone!
