This is the beginning of my stage of my music. This is the first thing that shows up when first load up the LMMS Program
This is adding on to the previous bases for the first beat/ baseline. These are the different types of drums and sounds that you can add. Here I added a bass, kick, and hihat.
In this part I added onto the first beat/ baseline. In this part I added more sounds that weren't limited to just drums. I added different choir like noises that add to the effect of the drums that I had added previously.
Here I added another beat/ bassline. In this one I added an alternating drum and hihat. This is plays by itself for one full beat. Then the previous beat/ bassline starts and they play together at the same time. This is a cool effect so they make a creative sound

This is a screenshot of the website that I am using to convert my music, which are .wav files, to mp3 files that can be played on my website. This is a very useful website because it allows me to change my files into many different files so that I can play my songs almost anywhere.
I decided to make edits to my song and change how it sounds so that it flows better. I also added onto my song so that It is longer and sounds better than it had previously. I also added a couple more baselines that add onto the layers of my song.
This is the final picture of my project. This shows what the final song looks like. The first two bars are the bass and snare hits that go through the whole song. The final two bars are the melody that plays which start a beat after the bass and snare bars and end a beat before the bass and snare bars.
This is a picture of the top melody that is playing during my music. Notice that it is at the C7 octave of the piano roll. This is an octave above the lower melody that is playing
This is a picture of the lower melody that plays throughout my song. It is pretty much a copy of the top melody that is pictured above. Notice that this one is at the C6 octave. This is an octave lower than the top melody. This is called a ghost melody.
This is the bass that I created. This took a long time to create because I had to space everything out so that I made the sound that I wanted to. It took a lot of experimenting and this is what I spent most of my time on.
This is a picture of the snare sounds that I made in the beat/bassline editor. For the snare there are two different ones that I created. The first one is a closed snare and the other is an open snare. I put the closed snare into the piano roll so that I could have the rolling sound that happens during the song.
