We had to do a mix-tape of sorts for a school project. Here are some songs that I really like right now. Hope you enjoy.

My Music Mixup

The second of two projects that we did for school using Apple's GarageBand. This is my first time looping in this program and ever with live instruments. To be honest, I haven't done anything like this in a long time... not since Acid was owned by Sonic Foundry. (and a little bit after that, but not much) 
Comments? Criticisms? Thanks for listening!! :D

Ok.. there's a few things going on here:
Drum loop - from Apple's loop set
Guitar - an old Yamaha Acoustic
Cello - el cheapo that I bought a while back from the Naked Drummer at Cornerstone.. nothing special, but it sounds like a cello :)
Bass - an American P-Bass '00 model
Keys - my friend's micro Korg

Black Coffee and Low Batteries

I just got Ableton and was playing around with it. I'm super impressed with its capabilities and very excited about the creative potential :D

First Ableton Project

I just got Ableton not too long ago and am experimenting.. this song got stuck in my head and I figured it'd be fun to see what variations I could come up with. I am just really learning how use the program and have so much more to learn.. but this is where I am.. so enjoy :) Got any tips or pointers? I'd love to hear them.. ps btw.. .make sure you have something thats got some low end to hear the bass.. i'm pretty excited about that part :D 

Where do all those falling blocks come from anyway?

Here is my second rendition of tetris (this time its in the right key and with the right notes and stuff). I went back and actually listened to the song after I made that first one and realized it was in the wrong key, had wrong notes, and stuff so I re-did it.. There are parts that I like better in the first one and some that I like in the second, but I'm tired of tetris at the moment so its time for something else :)  I'm still very much learning about all this stuff so if you have any critiques or suggestions, please feel free to let me know. Thanks!

Moar Falling Blocks

One day I hope to be a real musician :) Until then I'm just having fun. I play a few different instruments and I'm currently learning how to use DAWs and midi. I recently got an Akai MPK 49 and Ableton. I've also gotten Reason, but I'm using it mostly for live performances. Ableton seems more intuitive to me as far as creating songs. We'll see how it goes later. Got any tips or pointers? Please let me know! I'm really enjoying learning how to do this stuff.
