I now have the piano loop that’s going to act as the backbone for my track as well as the lyrics, so can begin pulling the song out of my head and into existence, as I like to envision the process. Thread by thread. I begin by putting the drum track together. I do it using a drum library for Kontakt called Legacy Drums. I love this library, it sounds great and it gives me instant access to each drum element’s velocity and transients. I come up with a simple 4/4 drum beat to accompany the piano’s hypnotic mantra. So far so good.
