Different Trains Day 1Welcome to the 2010-2011 school year!Here’s to a great year! Jeffry S, 5-10-10So here’s what I worked on this week; it’s somewhat of a dancehall beat. I enjoyed making this beat a lot; hope you enjoy :] jeffry 5-10 Jeffry S, 5-10-10still doing my remix; still not done yet so i’m still stalling my piece; stay tuned :] Overheard at the Media Lab today“I feel like a mechanic.” (Said in reference to taking different pieces of a song and figuring out how to fit them together into a remix.) “I’m pretty proud of myself – I always wanted to make my own drum kit.” “This remix project is great; it makes us practice everything we know.” “This class saves me from trouble.” Jeffry S, 4-26-10So today we cut stems from samples and made our own remixes, using different kick drums, basses, snares and all types of other sounds. My piece is still in the works but I’ll post it soon so you can listen. – Jeffry Today’s LessonToday I learned about synthesized beats & the different sounds that come up with it. As well as fixing the rhythm of the beat when you get off track. I wanted to make a beat using the same sounds as Wiz Khalifa’s ‘This Plane’. I used Analog Lead on the MIDI keyboard & used the Hip Hop heavy drum kit with a stereo bass.
