in this loop i used many different effects. in the beginning the drums have a weird delay on them which make them sound unique. the other channel that i added had a weird alien-like sound and i figured to expirement. the project didnt come out as i planned. it was unique and i dont think i will pursue that type of sound agian. at the end i used flanger on the snare. overall the project was unique and i learned what effects i liked and ones i didnt

Chop Tool

In this post we were told to utilize the chop tool. i used the chop tool in the first section of my song, along with a very basic drum loop. in the next section of the song i basically used power chords that related closely to the first section of the song. The whole song basically has a very basic drum loop. then the song restarts and does the same thing agian. finally it goes to a different chord progression which i like most because it ends the song with a happier sort of feel.

my drum loop

i had some trouble keeping my drum loop simple because it was only drums and nothing else. i finally ended up going with a simple but fun drum loop.i started off with a simple drum loop that you would probably hear a pretty close version of in a lot of songs that you might listen to. it has the hi-hat and snare and a little bit of kick. in the first drum fill i used the toms and base drum to convert from a mainly hi hat centered deat to one revolving around the ride cymbals. the next fill is basicallly the sendond drum beat with a little extra on top. then it gowes back to the beggining.
