Project 2/ Week 3

This song is very ambient and spacey in the guitar and bass. The guitar was a talk box guitar I found and changed in FL Slayer and the bass is the Boobass. I used the FPC for the drums but I only used two different beats because I felt that drums weren't very important in the song. The guitar is usually transposed one octave up from the bass. To make the riffs I used various chop patterns. Enjoy!

Project 1/ Week 2

This drum loop is influenced heavily by punk drumming that I am a huge fan of so I raised the tempo to 180 bpm. The intro is a little two measure fill that reminded me of something Travis Barker (favorite drummer!) would do. It goes into a variation of a typical rock beat that ends with a fill between toms and snare that is just sixteenth notes and eighth notes. The second beat is similar but uses a floor tom instead of a hi hat then has a fill that is para-diddles between three different toms. The song goes into two more beats influenced by Fall Out Boy with no real fills in between, only variations of the pattern. It then ends with a crash to snare section with the snare going from one hit to two in the second time then ends with a crash. I also put a roll at the end on toms to show the end because I hear that in songs a lot and I really like it. All the sounds I used were in the Real Drumkit in the Legacy pack.

Week 1

Hello all my adoring fans, Today I took the time to create a google account and make this wonderful punk rocking blog. Now i have changed my twitter name to TheBugFactor36, and am following some of my fellow classmates. Divshare has given me some problems but I will teach it a lesson and make it let me have an account. So far so good!
