second week

I chose to do my blog series on making music, I currenly have been djing for about 2 years,I’ve always been interested in music I’ve played different instruments from the age of 10 from trumpet, bass guitar, bagpipes, and now a synthesizer.  It was probably this summer when I got interested in the production side of djing. I really got interested after I started to critic my buddies DJ Housework productions.I use to chill in his sessions making music, and would give my input how I felt about the song. If I could grove to it, if I liked it or not. From there he would make addition to the song, and release them through social media sites like Facebook, and Youtube.He has had an influence on the way to produce a song.   

 I use the program apple logic to for music production. This week I worked on the heart of the song, the main beat. I’ll set this song for 128.00 BPM(Beats per minute). This will give the song a up lifting feel to it. The instrument that I work on first is on the kick, I set it up so it would play on every beat, and so if you counted out the music you would hear the kick on 1,2,3,4. This pattern would repeat through out the song, but the volume level of the beat would change and get louder to establish to idea of the song, but softer when the song broke down for the climax of the song. The next part I added was the clap, the adds for another effect to be layered on top of the song I decided to place the clap at the beginning of every count. I placed them so the would be counted 1, and  this breaks up the beat, which I feel makes the song more interesting. Well i think that is all the producing I have for today, check out for updates next week.
