Project 2

hey guys, this is my second project for music tech. This project was based around using the FPC, the Chop tool, and the Transpose tool. I started off with a drum beat from the FPC called Fpc Ambient groove 01. Next i added a simple bass line using the Boo Bass. Then, I added a guitar riff which i made using the chop tool with the pattern superstition. AFter that riff, the drums switch to a new FPC loop and another guitar part starts which was again made using the chop tool with that same pattern. Then in the liitle space that follows another new FPC loop starts and a new guitar riff starts, but this one was made from the first guitar loop but transposed up an octave. And the little end bit is just a crash symbol and bass. One thing i found hard about this was trying to find a good guitar riff using the chop tool because it kept coming out in ways that i didnt like, for example, the notes were too short or there were too few notes. Other than that, i really didnt have any other problems. Enjoy!!

Project 1

Hey guys, this is the first project for music tech that i made, which is a drum loop. Its made up of 3 individual loops, 2 fills, and an end loop. I think that this project is a mix between the regular, old school, rock/pop drum sounds and a rap/dance kind of beat. All the loops and fills (except the last one) have a kick drum to keep the beat, which is the default kick drum sound. The first loop has tamborine, high hat (which is the default one), a snare drum, and the kick drum of course. The fill after that uses the shaker, a few tom hits, and a crash symbol. The next loop uses a ride symbol, shaker, and snare. The next fill goes back to the tamborine and high hat, but also keeps the crash symbol and toms. The last loop uses hand claps, shaker, crash symbol, and high hat. Then, last but not least, the ending loop is a simple vibra slap and wind chimes. Enjoy!!
