So, finally, I decided 'Let's just start with bass, I Love it, and the drums are getting me angry.'
Opened up FL Slayer instead of BooBass 'cause I can't hear that thing.
None of the stuff sounded nice...it was WAY too choppy, and I didn't want it sounding like that (for now). Clicked the reset button, and that made it 1/100 notes (not really, but close enough). Liked that.
Started off on Middle C (C5?) on the piano roll. Then I made a new pattern and transposed that exactly one octave up, if I'm remembering correctly. Yeah, I should probably check, but I'm just not gonna.
I couldn't really remember where to find the pre-made drum loops (probably in the most obvious area, but whatever). So, I made my own. Used a kick drum and the snare drum. Nothin' else, 'cause it took too much to get it to go, and I thought it sounded pretty good.
Each bass pattern went 2 times each, on repeat once. I added the first bass that was alone for like 1 second right before the guitar, just because. Then I added in the guitar.
I think I chose the Superstition chop function for that one (middle C again). Then I transposed it up exactly one octave. Each guitar pattern went 4 times. Went back to the bass, (high then low), on repeat once.
Then I used the higher octave guitar for 3 times. I did an odd number, because the rest of the patterns went a pretty even number of times.
Went back to the bass again, with my little drum loop. Ended it with 1 pattern of the higher bass.
The end. XD
Tiff,
ReplyDeleteYou need to embed your files, not just post a link to a download.
Besides the fact that you messed up the link, this was pretty dang good.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why you say your not good at this, cuz that was some seriously good guitar.
Thanks, Mr. Rabuse. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, JJ showed me how. So I'll do that when I get home (all my projects are on my comp).
haha and thank you, Alex. XD
It's not that I'm any good, it's that all this stuff is pre-made.
I hear the transposing, and the chop, but I'm wanting a bit more of a full sound out of your loop. That means to include some bass, and maybe a melody to play along with your chopped part. A good loop has balanced, contrasting elements that contribute to a full sound. I'm getting a lot of one note here.
ReplyDeleteIts good, and I like it. Just because something is good doesnt mean I like it. As Mr. Rabuse said, it needs bass. You should try the typical heavy metal style bass line, one note rapidly repeated, then transpose with the guitar riff.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Josh. :D
ReplyDeleteIt bothers me that nobody noticed that that really fast strumming in the background WAS actually the bass.
