Assignment 3 - Create a rhythm pattern using found sounds

Your task with this assignment is: Program at least an 8 bar (hopefully more), repeating drum pattern using GarageBand on the iPad and/or Mac.

To complete this assignment you need to:

• Create a project folder in OneDrive called Assignment 3. Make sure this is either in your shared music folder

• Upload a screenshot of your groove.

• Export "song" to OneDrive and Share it with me.

• Present and discuss how you made it - what sounds were what.

What I am looking for:

• Kick, Snare, HiHat/Cymbal - esque sounds at a minimum (bass, mid and treble). Kick is generally a boomy bass tone, snare is a percussive mid range tone, and high hat a higher frequency sound.

• Kick is on at least beat 1 of every second measure. There is some evidence of the "kick drum rule"

• There are identifiable patterns (ie. some degree of repetition in the drum pattern)

• MIDI notes are quantized (manually or automatically) to be on the appropriate beat and are the correct duration, or slightly nudged off the grid to adjust the "feel" or or "humanize" your grooze - use your ears and make sure it still sounds good

• NEW! - All drum parts are separated out - one drum per track. You should have at a minimum 3 separate tracks.

  • • This video can help if you were not here for the lesson.

• Drums are mixed creatively, yet musically.

BONUS EXTENSION

• For extra credit, find other pitched sounds, and create additional layers using found sounds.

• Add more layers to your percussion track, you may add one or two VST instruments after

• Extend your arrangement and try to produce a minute or two of audio.
