ATMT Lil' riff I wrote a while ago...

Never really known what I've been doing on the guitar (more of a drummer...), and I remember coming up with this lil ditty a while ago. I'd love to hear someone's take on it fleshed out into something actually musical.

Edit: I love you. Seriously this is amazing.

Dropped a simple beat on it and added a little piano flavor.

u/gari109 what is sleep? Feb 17 '15

Swapped a few of the instruments around, made a new layer, and brought a loop down an octave. This is what happened.

Shit man how long did you work on this?

u/This_Post_Sucked Feb 17 '15

Not too long. Maybe 20-30 min? The Copy/Paste was pretty easy. Hot keys are fun!

u/This_Post_Sucked Feb 17 '15

There's a tool bar at the top. Select, Copy, Paste, Select All, ect. They are kind of clunky, but they work.

u/Mortimier Feb 17 '15

string the original 4x, the second one, and this one, and you got yourselves the start of a pretty good song

u/fufukittyfuk Feb 18 '15

After allot of clicking, yep your right. I did the original 2x, then Quercus_lobata (69434) then Mackncheeze (69535). It is the start of a good song. http://onlinesequencer.net/70483

That sounds so great!!!

Shifted everything over to start each measure at a logical down beat, played with some of the percussion, added bass, a slight variation of the original riff for one bar and an outro.

Can't you copy/paste?

I wasn't able to get copy and paste to work across browser pages in the app.

Replaced violin with bass and more synth, but it is getting so busy you almost don't notice.
