Using The Chopper

The chopper was a great tool to learn how to use. First, I picked a note I liked and put it into piano roll and then chopped it. I tried different chopping patterns until I found one that I liked. I did this with all of my guitar patterns. The opening guitar pattern is probably my least favorite pattern in my loop, but I liked how it made the different patterns flow together. The second guitar pattern I really liked making. I picked a chopping pattern and then mixed up some of the pitches. The third different guitar pattern that comes in, didn't take me very long. I found the pitches and rhythms that I wanted almost right away. Lastly, I also found the drum loop easily, which was a change for once. I felt like the drum loop fit well with the song. Let me know if you agree...or disagree!

Drum Loop With Bass

For this loop, I wanted my bass patterns to be different, yet match with each other to make the sound flow. One way I tried doing this was using the same rhythm but changing the pitch. Please tell me what you think about this, especially on the third bass pattern or at the very end. I had a hard time deciding whether or not to include it into my loop. Finding a drum loop that fit also took some time. I liked the one that I finally chose because of the way it accented the beat. Let me know what you think. :)

Project 1 Drum Loop

For this loop, it took me a while to try and fit different sounds together. I liked the sound of the shaker and by adding the clav to it, it formed what I thought was a very cool mix. I also liked the sound of the hi-hat and thought it made the clav come through with a "pop" sound. In one of my patterns, I had the hi-hat go up and down in volume. What do you think? :)
