Project 3

For project 3, I started by adding the velocity sound. After adding the sound, I used the cut tool in the SimSynth. I used the "Dreams" chop pattern. I next added the drum beat. The bass is on the 1 and the snare is on every other first note. Lastly, I added some high-hat hits to the beat. After doing this, I played around with the cut tool and found a pattern with it that I liked. I also added a small drum fill, which was a simple kick-snare pattern. To finish the project, I faded out the master volume. Enjoy!

Project 2

I started out by making the guitar rhythm. I used the "slayer" guitar tool, and used the 'metal' sound. After experimenting with different note, I used the chop tool. I had to try out a few different patterns until I got the one I wanted. After that, I added the bass-line, which was the same as the guitar but a lower key. I used Boobass for this. Finally, I made the drum beat. I made the drums last because I wanted them to match the guitar, not vice-versa. For the drums, I used a lot of the crash cymbal and snare. After doing this, I transposed the guitar and bass up a few notes for the second half of the loop. It's pretty short, but I like the way it turned out, and I like the ending. Enjoy!

Project 1

This is my first drum beat. I tried to keep it pretty basic. I like to use many different instruments while using a real drum kit, so I tried to do the same with this beat. I like the use of toms and the use of quite cymbal sounds. What I had the most fun with was the fill. Fills are anything you make them, and they can be really busy or simple, and I like to have the option. The A and the B are sort of similar because I wanted the same sounds throughout the whole loop. Enjoy my first track!
