Collabo - part 1

Today and tomorrow we will be working on a 2-part assignment that will be worth a quiz grade (10 points).

You are going to be collaborating with another student to create an original song. Today, you are just going to focus on making a full song's worth of drum tracks. It is  you possibly can.

1.  Create a Redrum, and make a
32-step beat.
2.  Put the beat into the Sequencer from Bar 1-Bar 17.
3.  Move the L marker to Bar 17 and the R marker to Bar 25
4.  Create a second Redrum. Load different sounds and make 16-step beat. 
5.  Highlight everything and copy and paste it twice . You should end up with a song that has 3 verses and 3 choruses.
6. Now mute the first two Redrum tracks by clicking on the M button on the left side of the track. 
7. Create a third Redrum and make a 16-step beat. This is going to be the bridge. When you get it down, find a place in your song where you want it to go and move everything over to give it space. Put it in for 8 bars.

Save this as "(your name)_collabodrums.rns" and put a copy in the Dropoff folder.
