[,-,'-{Bar}-',-,]

http://www.zshare.net/audio/2331318cb3cdce/

ok well, i did a tut witch learned me the basics then i created this, tash helped me with his opinion n stuff so props to him for that

anywae, i was basically goin for the basic drum pattern to make that good, then i decided to add the guitar, so i did that and saved this, then i went back to work on it some more, i then changed the channel in a different pattern and fucked up and removed the guitar channel from all the patterns meaning i could'nt edit it or make it better, i then couldnt find the notes i had on what you are listening to now, hence i fucked up trying to edit this, witch is why im posting it

feed is highly appreciated as i suck at beats if everyone heard my stuff in the past ya'll will remember how i murdered ear drums like jason x


oh and lastly, i created thi son headphones so expect the volume not to be perfect (sorry)

i like it , just lighting that string up a lil and add more bg sounds.

it's got a familiar flow to it, but I cant tell why.....

the hi-hat or what ever that was should have a lower volume, but the pattern was ok

i liked the melody on this.... the drum pattern seemed alright

keep it up...you'll get better with time

practice makes perfect

its easy and simple for beginners
place a snare on each first red cell like this.


and then you fill in with kicks. and hi hats if you want.

keep in mind that's a simple one mostly for beginners. sooner or later your gonna want to make more complex ones.

edit:and dont mind the fact i put the cells in the hi hats
that was just to show you were they are supposed to go in the snares. lol. i didnt notice i put them there until now

[Tash8]

couldn't you also put it on the last one of the 2/4 and the last one of the 4/4?

[IceAxe]

I do that exact same thing... it does help when beginning a basic pattern before adjusting for more complexity

[Ethos]

couldn't you also put it on the last one of the 2/4 and the last one of the 4/4?

eh.... im not sure. it depends on how you want it. i could work but like i said it depends.

@ syanied, thats what i do lol, then i hi hat on ever other, then i switch it up a bit and maybe put


HH = high hat

HH HH miss HH miss HH HH Mis HH HH HH ect


i just mess around like that, obviously adding claps or kicks ect.


melodies confuse me a bit though lol


@hadez, thanx man, and well thats all there is to the beat wether it was 3 minutes or 9 seconds its the same 4 bar pattern repeated ya know

ill make them longer in the future

Don't worry bruh, you'll get it down in time. It's better if you have a keyboard to just dink around with, even if it's not connected to the computer. Cuz then you can find melodies a hell of a lot faster.
I'm pretty much still a beginner with this but I 've had about 6 months practice. So if ya ever need any help and Mart and DC arent around feel free to PM me.
