Check out the loops!!!

Up top are categories

And the loops are at the bottom

Choose one and drag it to the studio

Notice that the loop is automatically 8 measures (bars) long

You can change the tempo (speed)We talk about tempo in BPM (Beats per minute)120 = 120 beats per minute - how many beats per second is that?

Make the loop twice as long Drag the sample to the right

Notice we go past 16 all the way to the first beat of measure 17

Starting on the first beat of measure 9Add a second layer of sample

Now, add a 3rd layer at measure 13

I added a 4th layer at the end

Now, drag everything right another 4 measuresHINT! CTRL-A to select all tracks!

Finally - we will fade out the volume as the song endsUse the white circle (upper RH corner of the sample)Drag it back 4 measures

We’re finished with today’s assignment, but we will continue to work on this project next week. If

you get done early, experiment with the web page and see what else you

can do with your song.
