When i first started making my second project, I knew it was going to be a lot of fun because on this project, we were able to use the chopping and slayer tools. However, before I could start using them, I had to get a nice drum beat. I wanted this beat to have a country sound. That didnt really happen. To be honest, I dont know how my beat happened..it just did. After my drum beat was made, i started putting in some random notes on the slayer. After I had a nice mixture, i used a really cool tool called the chopper. In seconds I had an amazing sounding riff that went really well with my drums. Although it wasnt country, I liked it and decided it was good. After that, I did the exact same thing with the chopper. Except this time i didnt use random notes..I took the notes that were in my first pattern and just mixed them up a bit. Then once again I used the chopp tool and it was a success. Not only did I have another pattern, but there was just enough of the first one in it, that it sounded really good. I decided that during the second pattern I would take out the drums. This made it so you could really hear the second beat and that is what I wanted. Finally I threw in the first beat again and played it through. It made a cool little riff and I thought it was perfect for my second project. So even though it wasnt country, I think it came out fine. Hope you like it!!

I hear the county style coming out of the bass line, but not anywhere else. It's hard to creat a digital country music tune. Good county music is so earthy, no computer could create that sound.
ReplyDeleteIt's perfectly alright to modify a chopped loop like that. I think the overall effect is good. You could use a better ending.
