Project 6

Project 5

Project 4

Project four was my favorite project so far. I had a great time with project four because I had more options to make a good beat with. I started with a few kicks. I put in a clap in the beginning, but then it didn’t sound good so I took it out. I like the kick better because it starts the loop. I put down the piano and played with the keys, going back and forth finding the right tone with the loop. Then I put in the slayer and brought everything together.

Project 3

I started with the slayer for Project 3, and then I just put in a little beat going along with the melody. Then I put the automation clip in and I played with the keyboard because I was trying to find the sound to match the loop. That took me a long time because it took forever to find the right key to match the loop. Finally,I put it all together.

Project 2

The second project was easier than the first: I knew all the beats, I started listening and pausing, playing with the piano, chopping it, and that's how I got my bass (from the piano). This was was longer, and I felt that I worked really hard on it. I knew that some of my beats were a little loud, but that can be fixed when I start new projects. I think the third project will be easier than the first and second because I can add beats and develop my song more. I'm getting better at knowing where to click in the program to make different sounds. I like using the keyboard. I pause everything and I start playing around with the keyboard and thinking about how I can put it all together.

Project 1

It's hard for me to explain how I make the beats, but I'll try. This is all new for me. I started by listening to cymbals and beats that I had never heard. I liked all of them, so it was hard to choose because they all sounded really well. Then I started connecting them together and I liked the way that they sounded. This project was a short one, only 18 seconds, and it was my first time using this program. I think 18 seconds for my first time was too short. Just when I got into it, it ended. I felt pressure to end my beats quickly.
