Project 2

For project 2 I tried to go for a up beat pop sounding song. By using the channel FL Keys and then using the riff machine to find a loop I liked. To go along with that I used another channel Boobass for a bass pattern sound, one that was somewhat repetitive to keep throughout the entire piece. Then I went through the drum kits and packs to find some basic drum beats to put in because I really didn't play with any of the channels that contained the drums. I tried over lapping some of the patterns to see how it would sound,along with playing with the velocity. I was having some trouble with loading my mp3 to DivShare so I'll make another post next class with the mp3.

For my first project I used the pack files and mostly used loops from the drum kits. But since it was my first project I also used the the default clap and hat sound. From pattern to pattern I added a few different snare drums that were relatively close to one another. I had a difficult time coming up with a transition from pattern one to pattern two, but for my first project I think, it came out alright. I used the layering tool to mix a couple of different kick drum sounds while also using the velocity tool to change the volume for each note.
