For my third project our main focus was on effects. Although adding cool sounds such as reverb and delay was fun, you had to be careful because if there was too much reverb or delay, the piece would sound choppy and bad. Overall the sound I was looking for was kind of a pop/rock type of thing. However, when I started playing around with teh reverb, slayer, and chopp tool, I ended up with almost a symphony sort of sound. I started with four basic kick drums. Then, i simply added a little reverb to them so you could hear a little echo. Next i put in one simple clap on the 4th step and then some various hats throughtout the pattern. I then decided to copy my first pattern and tweek it just a little for my second one. They contrasted nicely and i had two cool patterns. The next thing I did was put a little delay on one of the claps in the second pattern so that they came right after eachother in a cool "clashing" way. After I had my two basic beats, and i had used the reverb and delay, I decided to liven things up a little bit by putting in some slayer notes. I put in a basic couple notes and then chopped them. This made a cool little riff over the beat. I simply played it twice through and then did a contrasting one. Although it wasnt pop/or rock, it was a really cool sounding beat that i liked. i was happy with the way the reverb and delay came out, and was finally done with my third project. However,after i posted it and listened to it I realized that i had 14 extra seconds of absolutely nothing untill the very end where there is a few randome notes. There is no reason for that and I dont know why it did that, so you may not want to waste the extra 14 seconds because theres nothing to listen to! Other than that, Enjoy!!
