Once you have all the individual elements of the composition prepared,
it's time to take a look at arrangement for performance.
[MUSIC]
Now, an arrangement can be very subjective,
it totally depends on what you're going for.
But I'm going to show you a basic technique of building
an arrangement by gradually layering individual parts on top of each other.
So let's see how we can do this with our setup here.
Let's have a listen to the sounds I have in this set.
[MUSIC] This is a bad sound.
It just leaves a chord progression.
Then I have this brighter sound,
[MUSIC] same chord progression.
I have a basic bass part [MUSIC] Displaying octaves and then a more complex one.
[MUSIC] I also have some different drums.
[MUSIC] One additional sign
I do have here is a riser.
This is very critical to create transitions from one section to another.
So let's have a listen to this.
[NOISE] I also have a lead sound that I'm going to perform with,
making sure it's in the correct scale,
[MUSIC]
correct octave
[MUSIC]
All right,
now I'm ready to perform the arrangement.
So I'm going to start with the bad sound.
[MUSIC]
I'm going to gradually make it brighter,
[MUSIC]
I am going to introduce the next chord's track.
[MUSIC]
Now the bass part.
[MUSIC] Now the riser and
the drums [MUSIC] switch over to the lead instrument
and [inaudible] .
[MUSIC]
Once you have jammed for a little while,
you want to end the arrangement.
Let's take a look at a very simple technique to finish up this on.
On the master track over here and able to live,
I'm going to add a specific effect track.
So let's go into the Audio Effects section in the library under Audio Effect Track,
under Performance and DJ,
I'm going to load in a preset called Fade to Grey.
So just drag that and drop it on the master before this limiter here.
So this is a fairly simple audio effects rack,
but it produces a interesting result.
It creates this washout effect,
and it's very easy to imply this could be the end of the arrangement.
So I'm just going to continue for where I was.
[MUSIC] If I want to end,
I just increase this feet degree parameter.
[MUSIC] I'm going to turn off
the different parts that are running except for the chords
[MUSIC] and then filter that down too.
[MUSIC]
So I just
showed you one arrangement technique where I
gradually build on parts and then gradually break it down.
You can try the same thing,
or come up with your own ideas.
There's so many possibilities.
