L3 – Initial Assessment


This is my initial assessment for level 3

i made this beat on Serato studio and took me about 2/3 hours.

i made the piano melody to start with and added some delayed reverb as it sounded ”dry” and ”boring” in my opinion. After i sorted out the melody i moved onto the drums.

For the drums i used a simple trap pattern. Kick, snare, short high hats. i added a quadruple snare on the end of every 4th bar.

i lowered some of the high end of the high hats to make it easier to listen to.

For the ”chorus” i pitched the melody up by a few semitones to add some variety.

At the end i took the melody on its own and i half timed it and lowered the semitones to create a smooth and calming outro

Smart targets

I need to include more information when talking about my piece of work.

i need to do some research on mixing my music. i can do this by looking it up online on sites such as youtube

I need to try compose my own music rather than taking samples when i produce at home although when i use ableton at college i don’t use samples.
