Thing-A-Day 8

Playing around with beats again in the drum machine software. This one sounds better than the last couple of Thing-A-Day experiments since I found the source of the nagging background noise: I had the audio from my laptop’s built-in mic coming into Cool Edit as I recorded those pieces live. Fixed that and everything is now back to awesome.

I did this the same way, adding and subtracting instruments in real time. I need to teach myself how to set up patterns in Beatcraft, but for now I’ve been having fun just playing it as an instrument, so to speak.

This is kind of a slow old-school hip-hop beat, but with its own bleepy 2008 persepctive. Here’s the MP3:
