Just like Buster Moody mentioned on his blog we are going to be doing a little song trading. (Starting fairly simple projects in Logic 8, with just basic structure and a little bit of melody, and giving it to another person to do whatever they want with.)

This should be a fantastic way to learn as it is fun to toy with other people’s work and it is also great motivation to keep producing.

Here is the original project I was given:

Some fine cutlery used to slice up the opening sample, seemed like it would be a great basis for a simple melody.

Here is my version after a few hours of tinkering:

I was really interested in the sample he used so I just made some slight adjustments to it, mainly using one as the driver for the melody, and developed my own beat. Still have a lot more planned for this, but we are trying to maintain a quick turn around time.

We are learning here, so feel to leave a comment/feedback on anything. And if you would like to join in, definitely let one of us know.
