How To Turn Your Loop Into A Song #2- Arrangement and Production

EDIT - I said the key way C major but it's actually D Dorian (Same notes but different root) Sorry for this but it's easy to make silly mistakes when the pressure of filming is on and I did all of this on the spot so didn't take the time to consider the scale properly. At the end of the day I just go by ear anyway but sorry for any confusion! Today I show how you can take a simple idea with some potential into a bigger concept and eventually a song by trying a few simple production techniques, arrangement ideas and creativity hacks. This video is aimed at beginners who are not familiar with arrangement and song structure. I start with a simple 4 bar drum loop with a bass line and try to arrange it into a structure and add some variety to the song. The video covers 3 topics: 1) Arrangement 2) How to play along with your song and create interesting chords and melodies 3) How to stay organised and motivated ►Get My Serum Sound Bank: http://bit.ly/inthemixstore ►Get 7% off DistroKid if you signup through my custom link → http://distrokid.com/vip/inthemix ▶What Gear Do I Use In My Studio?
