GTA IV Beat Making

 GTA IV THEME MUSIC (BEAT MAKING TUTORIAL) In this blog we are looking on how to recreate the theme music of GTA IV. For this i've used Logic Pro as my DAW and i used Akai Mpk Mini as my Midi Keyboard. Now let's look on how we recreate the beat. Tempo - 142 Scale - C minor 1. BASS While recording the bass it's better to layer the tracks to get the perfect sound. Try to add a bass which has a sub effect or select a random bass and remove it high frequency using the equalizer plugin. Nest step is layer it a bass which has a square tone effect. You can remove its low end a bit as there is an instrument which already has a low end. So it will prevent a rumbling unwanted noise. For this i've used the plugin Nexus 3. It has wide amount of bass presets. I've selected the preset Agora for the sub bass and Aggressive Bite for the square tone. Here is the pattern of the bass. 2.

MIDI Thru What MIDI Out does is it sends a MIDI signal out of the device and MIDI In takes a MIDI signal inside the device and a MIDI Thru allows it to pass to another device. So basically how it works is when you press a Key or Pad it creates a MIDI message and the message is sent to the device which it is connected. MIDI is just a language, the controller speaks the language and any one who understand it can react to those messages. So you know what else can speak MID, your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation)...

 THE WEEKND - BLINDING LIGHTS (Beat Making Tutorial) Here are the instruments i added to recreate the track. 1. Rhythm For Kick and snare i selected the Acoustic type drums from the KSHMR VOL 3 sound Pack. Apply Kick on 1,3,5, two beats between 6 & 7 and apply kick on 7 as well in 2 bars. Apply snare on every second kick we hear. Give hi-hats on every click we hear. Don't go for any hi-hat rolls, just keep it simple. You can also add dynamics to the hit hats to find it less robotic and more humanized. Follow this pattern: 2. Pads While recreating the Pads try to go for a church organ type pad and mix it with a ambient pad. Layering these two will give a perfect sound. For this i selected analog ensemble(Synth category) and mixed it with ambient pad in Nexus 3. Nexus 3 is one of favourite plugins for adding edm riffs, lead, synth sounds and pads as well. Here is the pads pattern. 3. Bass For bass I used 3 types of tone. First one is the Analog Pulse, second is Square tone and th...
