FX



I had a fun time with this loop; I got to experiment with the different kinds of effects. I put reeverb on the kick drum that comes in at the beginning, and continues throughout the rest of the song. While experimenting, I also put delay on the clap and loved the way it sounded. I thought it fit nicely with the kick drums, let me know if you disagree. Now for the bass; I have 2 bass patterns, one that I transposed up, and one that I transposed down. It took me a while to pick a bass line, I was having trouble making it fit with the guitar that plays through the entire song. Once I did finally decide on a bass line, I wanted it to change somewhere in the song. That’s when I decided to transpose the pitch. After doing this, I discovered that I really liked the way it sounded when I put chorus on it. I had trouble with an ending. I wanted a longer ending, changing up the song a little, but was having trouble making it fit. In the end I ended up playing random guitar notes, a clap, and a kick together to make a very short, but creative ending. So far this was one of my favorite projects to do, tell me how you think I did!
