Here I was shown how make a drum beat on Ableton. We did this by double clicking on the midi region and then clicking onto the ‘drums’ section. Then I selected the 808 core kit and dragged it down into the midi region I made. I created my 4\/4 drum beat by basing off the drum beat Lewis gave us which was a simple rock drum beat, being creative and just practicing around with the drum tab and creating it off that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today lesson we used instrument packs, these packs were more professionally recorded and sounded less digitally made because they were recorded in a studio with real instruments. To apply these packs onto a track we had to select, packs, kits(or guitar\/bass if your looking for that) and then drag the desired pack sound into a midi channel. To make the drums sound more realistic we then added some groove to our drum kit, this effect would make the drums essentially have a different rhythm or feel and would effect how the drum is played and sounds. We then added a guitar riff for the drum track and I created the riff by key board. I also did the same with the bass. But in future I’m going to plug in an instrument and create my tracks off a recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

above I have clicked on to the groove section, clicked and dragged the groove I want to the tab area. This will apply the groove and change how the drummer plays with the drum beat I made.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Above is where I have the done the same thing with the drums and using downloaded packs but instead used a guitar pack as that’s what I wanted for this part. Here I used the keyboard to create my guitar part but in future I will be using an actual guitar as I’m not used to a keyboard and it hindered my ability to make a good track and my timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here I scrapped my original track on Ableton and recoded it through my guitar instead. I did this because I was struggling to get something decent down playing through the keyboard, so instead I used my guitar skills to mock something better up. Above I made a simple 4\/4 drum beat and then recoded over it with my guitar. The song plan is to have some calm bluesy style guitar at the start and then turn into into a heavy metal track with multiple guitar overlays, harmonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My inspiration for this track is from the song The pot by TOOL mainly from the 3 minuet mark as it has some unique guitar riffs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
