Remix Continued

Hello all! We will be continuing working on the MJ remix.  I want to remind you of a few key tips to song arrangement and using melodic instruments.

lets think about song structure...
There is the Intro, Verses, Chorus', Bridge, and Outro
The majority of the song is made up of what...... Verses and Chorus'


What are Verses and chorus made up of?
They are often made up of 4 bar loops

So......
Work with 4 bars at a time!
  • The songs that we work with have repeating 4 bar melodies and chords
  • work hard to find notes that sound nice for four bars
  • Add more instruments using the same notes but try different rhythms
  • Now you can copy and paste and arrange these 4 bar loops creatively
If you are done with the Michael Jackson Remix there is a folder in the Yellow folder labeled acapella wav that has more acapella songs that you can remix.  If you would rather just work on your own song you can do that as well.

New songs to remix:
  • Paparazzi, Lady Gaga Tempo 115
  • My Love, Maria Carey and The Dream Tempo 85
  • Rock the Boat, Aaliyah Tempo 93
  • Honey, Erykah Badu Tempo 88
