Project 2



For this project we needed to accomplish three tasks. Transposing, Using FPC, and using the chop function. Once I had found out that we need to do transposing in this peice I was instantly inspired by a song. In Take a Bow by Muse, one of the solo chords in the beggining of the song gave me the perfect idea of what to do for my lead guitar but just a litte faster. As for the FPC, I played around with it for a little while untill I got a drum beat similar to the one in Beat It by Micheal Jackson. Finally, for the bass I wanted something simple like something from an old 8-bit video game. Smashing these inspirations lead me to my final composition embedded above. Enjoy!

  1. This is also a good loop. i like this guitar the best. it makes this good. the bass and the drums are good,but you can barely hear them. I am not sure if this is supposed to be just a guitar solo or not, since that's what it sounds like.

  2. I like the way that you started the loop out by building up to the guitar coming in. Using the drums into the bass was a good idea. All the instruments used are at just the right level which makes the loop even though it is short sound good. Nice Job.

  3. I agree with the above comments, but I find that the guitar part should transpose along with the bass. They clash in a few areas.

  4. I liked this loop, but i felt like the guitar needed a little more introduction to it. I felt that it just randomly came in at one part. I really liked your transpose and the drum beat.
